^utbor's J^tatcmcut. 



Equipped with an experience of more than thirty years in genealogical 
research the author has employed every available means for the acquisition 
of data for this family history and has conscientiously used the materials 
procured. He has met with many discouragements, and annoying delays 
were occasioned which could not be avoided. 

As no future edition is anticipated the compiler of this volume will give 
no attention to criticism. If errors are discovered — and no book of this 
class was ever free from them — it will be too late to correct them on the 
printed page. For more than six years he has devoted much of his time 
to this undertaking and has passed too many milestones on his pilgrimage 
to attempt anything more of this kind. When the last page is printed he 
will lay down his genealogical pen for all time and commit to the numerous 
families represented in this volume the result of his researches for what it 
is worth. 

He is profoundly grateful to those who have so kindly and generously 
assisted him, and for the confidence reposed in him by many whom he has 
never seen. Many pleasant hours have been enjoyed while writing the 
matter for these pages, and the author hopes that every copy of the book 
will be preserved with sacred care by those to whom they are entrusted.

Genealogical works are issued in nearly as many forms and with as fjreat 
a variety of classification as they have compilers and publishers. Kach 
writer has his own ideal, and arranges his materials accordingly. The com- 
piler of this genealogy has examined nearly all such works now in the 
alcoves of our New England libraries, and has found many very ingenious 
and comprehensive arrangements of names and numerals, but has not 
adopted any of them as a whole. When compiling his " History of the 
Ancient Ryedales," in i8S6, he classified his data upon the same model as 
found in this book, and after a comparison with many genealogies published 
since, has found nothing more satisfactory. 

The reader should always consult the "Table of Contents." Here v.-ill 
be found the titles or heads by which the numerous branches and families 
are designated. In most instances each branch will be distinguished by 
the name of the town, county and state where the ancestors first sat down, 
or where a majority of the families descended from the same parent-stock, 
have lived. Under these captions each family record will be arranged and 
classified by generations, beginning with the name of the person heading 
the list and running downward to the youngest children. Between the 
names of persons of different generations will stand the words " Second 
Generation " or " Fourth Generation," as the case may require. There 
■will also appear with each person's name, and above the regular type line, 
a small figure called a " Superior," which also denotes the generation to 
which the person belongs. All of the second, third, fourth and fifth gen- 
eration will follow in regular order, beginning in every instance with the 
eldest son. 

There will also appear a bold-faced figure in a parenthesis (4) following 
each person's name when such name is printed in bold-face letters at the 
heads of paragraphs ; these denote the number of persons in that particular 
branch of the family bearing the same Christian ?iafne, and. will, in every 
instance, have reference to that individual's yf/-j/ //(7Wc-. Thus Mark* (6), 
"\ son of ^Iark^ (5), will show that in this family there had been five persons 
\ named i^Iark Milliken before the one mentioned first, and that three gen- 
eirations had been previously recorded. By this very simple arrangement 
no two persons bearing the same Christian name need be confounded, as 
such ^\'ill) ill no instance, stand connected with the same figures. In case 
where ^ person's name stands in its proper position in some early branch 
of the f;2'"ily> ^s Thomas'- (4), and is again used at the head of a sub-branch, 
this name will appear as Thomas' (l), associated with the reference, "See 
Millikens of Bu.xton " or "See Milligans of County Sligo, Ireland," as the 
case may reqilire ; so that each person's name can be readily traced though 
not attended in both positions by the same figures. In the oldest families 
datin"- back to i^^o .V.l). and emliracing as many as eight or ten genera- 
tions.^the reader shOnld observe tliese distinctions. 

Another important feature of this book which greatly facilitates one's

search for tin- name of ;iiiy pai ticul.ir jjitsoii, arc the sub-heads comprising 
the names of parents, as '" ('hiUlrLH of Nathaniel and Mary JJryant," or 
*• Children of Siniuil and Sally Wali-rnian," as the case retpiires. All of 
such suh-luads, desi^Miatin^' each family, will he found of great assistance, 
and by reference to the name of either parent and the page number attend- 
ing it, this family record will be found. The full maiden names of all wives 
of Millikens, Milligans and Mullikans will thus be found, unlas they are 
intermarried with a lower generation; then they will be arranged alphabet- 
ically in the *' Index of Surnames " at the close of the volume. If any one 
wishes to liiul the record or biography of some particular family, and can 
remember the maiden name of a wife, or mother, he may quickly do so by 
consulting this index and running his linger down the list until he finds 
Waterhouse or Woodward, as the case may be; then, by turning to the 
page designated in the body of the book, that family record will appear. 

These indices supplementing the table of contents, are all that will be 
required by any intelligent reader, and it is believed that this simple ar- 
rangement, classification, and equipment, will commend itself to the judg- 
ment of all who may possess a copy of this book. 

In nearly all genealogies there are many repetitions, and the reader 
Duist turn from page to page to find all that is published concerning an in- 
dividual. The annoyance occasioned by such complicated forms is obviated 
by the plan carried out in this volume, and all that is said about any mem- 
ber of a family will be found in one place unless alluded to in some prelim- 
inary chapter incidentally, or in its proper position in a sub-heading. 

At the close of the body of the volume will appear a collection of short 
sketches and fragments that could not be otherwise classified, designated 
"Miscellaneous Notes." 

A "General Supplement" will contain data that reached the compiler 
too late for its proper place in the pedigree to which it belonged ; and a 
reader who has been disappointed because certain names and records do 
not appear with those of the other members of the family, may find them 
quietly reposing with those of their belated kindred in this department. 

It will be observed that names of all children whose mothers were 
maiden-named MilUken, Milligan, or Mulliken, follow immediately after the 
paragraphs containing such mother's name, birth, and marriage ; while the 
children bearing the father's surname will appear, in many instances, with 
another generation upon another page. This will be indicated by such 
references as " See 4th generation" or " See forward." Only the names, 
births and marriages of the children of mothers maiden-named Milliken, 
etc., will appear. With rare exceptions, names of grandchildren may be 
found in foot notes below the text. This limit was necessary in order to 
keep the volume from becoming too large. P.ut the publication of so many 
names of persons collaterally connected with the Millikens will be valuable 
data for those who may attempt the task of compiling the genealogies of 
such families.

(The iiiKu.^tvations of (Tbi.s iliciol;. 



riic pul)lic;iti(in oH portraits and views of i'ainiiy scats in a family liis- 
tory is both appropriate and important. Their appearance gratifies a natural 
and almost universal desire to mark the resemblance between persons rep- 
resenting different branches of a widely distributed family, and the wish to 
see likenesses of distinguished persons much heard of but never seen. In 
reading the biographies of men there is an instinctive imagination of the 
mould of their forms and faces, but fancy is a fickle goddess and often 
misleading. When penning the personal sketches in this book the inquisi- 
tive may turn their attention to the portraits and be satisfied. 

Valuable portraits of deceased members of a family, of which there were 
no duplicates, are often destroyed by tire or flood and cannot be restored ; 
l)ut such are multiplied in an edition of the family history and will thus be 
permanently preserved. 

Views of residences exhibit the changes in architecture between pioneer 
days and more modern times, and the variety as represented in different 
lands and localities — east, west, north, and south. In this volume may be 
found views of the villa of a resident of the Netherlands, of the old-fashioned, 
low-browed cottage in England, the home of the well-to-do farmer in Ireland 
and the stately seat of a Scottish gentleman. The American pictures rep- 
resent the timber-walled cabin of the pioneer, the mansion of the southern 
planter, the pretty cottage of the Gorgean village, the suburban residence 
of Ohio, the home of a western farmer, and the great ranii)ling house in 
New England. Views of residences in^ Australia, St. Christopher and Cali- 
fornia were sought for but not obtained. 

The manuscripts in the National Library of France disclose the fact 
that "coats-of-arms abounding in angles" were produced for Simon Millanges 
the distinguished scholar and tpyographer of Bordeaux, but an extended 
search onl^' revealed his "Printers Marque," a copy of which will be repro- 
duced in this book. This picture certainly abounds with cherubs, which may 
be identical, but not artistically depicted. Through the kindly assistance 
of American consuls we made diligent search for a portrait of this eminent 
citizen of Bordeaux but did not find one. There is a street, however, in 
the 5th arrondisement of the city called "Rue Millanges," which perpetuates 
his name. 

Inquiries were also instituted with the hope of procuring portraits of 
some distinguished member of the Milligen or Millinga families of Gronin- 
gin in the Netherlands, but their families were unwilling to have them puli- 
lished in an American book. 

The list of portraits in this book represent members of the family in 
various stations in life : a member of Parliament, two members of Con- 
gress, clergymen, teachers, lawyers, bankers, merchants, mechanics, sea- 
men and husbandmen ; and some of the dear old mothers ; and all ages 
from the pretty maiden to the centenarian. 



XIV THE ILLUSTRATIONS OF THIS BOOK. 

'I'he author regrets that the illustrations could not have been more evenly 
distributed through this volume, but all attempts to procure either portraits 
or residential views from some of the families have been fruitless ; and those 
to whom he has applied for such ma}^, Avhen they have seen the deficiency, 
join in this regret. 

Nearly all of the illustrations have been contributed and paid for by 
individuals or families ; a few were paid for by funds donated by men of 
means. 

Many American members of the family have expressed a desire that 
some portraits of early and distinguished persons named Mulliken, Millikin, 
or Milligan should appear in this book, and for seven years the compiler 
has sought diligently, through an extensive and costly correspondence for 
original copies of such. 

A portrait of Richard Albert Milliken the Irish poet, was published 
in one edition of his works, but no copy has been found. Since this volume 
was in press, a portrait in oil of the late Hon. Robert Milligan, the dis- 
tinguished merchant and member of Parliament, was discovered in the Town 
Hall of Bradford, England, and through the kindness of a kinsman of the 
deceased gentleman a photographic copy was procured ; but the surface of 
the original painting, through some fault in the pigment, was considerably 
defaced by crackling and these imperfections were reproduced in the copy ; 
the published likeness is not, therefore, as attractive as could be desired. 

There are now living in London members of the Milliken family (of 
Scottish descent) who have long filled important and honorable official 
positions under the crown but, though often solicited, they have refused to 
have their portraits appear in the family history ; an action much to be re- 
gretted. 

Inquiries were instituted in Scotland with the hope of finding a portrait 
of James Milliken late of Milliken*in Renfrewshire, Esq., but it was learned 
that the only one known to have been painted was destroyed when the old 
Milliken mansion was burned. 

With but few exceptions the halftone portraits produced in this book 
were made from original photographs and paid for by individuals or family 
contributions. A few are reproduced from old-fashioned daguerreotypes 
and ambrotypes and are not as clear as desired ; but they were likenesses 
of deceased persons and the only one in existence. The variation in clear- 
ness and artistic finish is due to the character of the original photographs. 
The halftone reproductions were made by the best houses in New iLngland. 

The likeness of Capt. Alexander Milliken, commander of the Ameri- 
can privateer Fame., was discovered in the nick of time amongst his papers 
in an old trunk in Biddeford, Maine. Photographic copies were procured 
but were not sufficiently clear, being deficient of contrast of light and shade, 
and a copy retouched by crayons was made for this book. 

'I'he portrait of "Uncle Nat" Milliken was made at his home at Bar 
Mills, Me., by Kahili of Portland, who was employed by the author to visit 
the old gentleman for that purpose. It is a true likeness of the venerable 
man, now 97 years of age, but for want of proper photographic accessories 
the shading is not strong. 



THE ILLUSTRATIONS OF THIS IWOK. xv 



I'he portrail of John M ii.i.ikix ol ( ';m;ul;i, the Centenarian, was pro- 
duced from a lithographic copy of a small and somewhat indistinct photo- 
graph, but was pronounced "a fairly good likeness." 

ViKws of Rksidkncks. r'our of the full-page halftone views of family 
seats now published was reproduced from paintings in black and white for 
this book by the celebrated artist, C. I. (3strand of Boras, Sweden. The 
original photographs were not clear and it was found necessary to have 
paintings made, and from these the plates were copied — an expensive ven- 
ture. 'I'hree of these views represent homes in England, Scotland, and 
Ireland and show the architectural character of the ancient low-browed 
cottage, the modern home of a well-to-do farmer, and the palatial residence 
of baronial style. 

The view of Bvma House at Faan in the Province of Groningin, the 
Netherlands, was furnished by the Commissioner and represents the resi- 
dence of Krnst de Millinga as it appeared in 1780. 'i'his seat has been dis- 
mantled. 

The view of Dunstan was made from an old print found in I'.ngland by 
Hon. James P. Baxter of Portland, Me. It shows the castle, the village, 
and the market-house. The title on the old print is spelled Dmistcr, and 
knowing of a town in Somersettshire, England, of this name, the author 
hesitated about publishing the view ; but was assured by Mr. Baxter that 
it represented the Diinstan from which the Scarborough Algers came. If 
this assumption is correct — and the authority is reliable — this picture must 
be of great interest to all who were descended from the Alger family. So 
earlv settled in the Dunstan of Maine. 

MiLMKKx Arms. The drawings of coats-of-arms found in this volume 
were made by authorized heraldic descriptions procured from the highest 
official on the subject ; the Lyon-King-at-Arms in Edinburgh, and correctly 
represent all the arms, crests, and mottoes known to have been granted to, 
or claimed by, the Mullikins, Millikens, or Milligans.

All ancient nations mentioned in history, wore some kind of defensive 
armor when in battle ; sometimes of leather, of brass, of iron and of steel. 
Some of the more luxurious had their coats of mail and helmets richly or- 
namented with gold and silver. In "Bible times" the sacred writers were 
familiar with shields, breastplates and helmets. 

When coats of armor were of thick leather, they were padded with some 
elastic material that would deaden the blow of sword or spear. 

Scale armor was composed of plates of brass, iron, or steel, so formed 
and united as to adapt itself to the necessary movements of the wearer's 
body. 

Armor originally only covered the head and shoulders, but in the days 
of William the Conquerer, men of war were clothed from crown to toe in 
armor made of plate, or of steel rings. 

In process of time the old knights and chiefs had devices on their 
shields which represented their prowess and were sometimes significant of 
their family names or place of residence ; then a crest was worn on the 
helmet, well known by the followers of the chief, that could be seen in bat- 
tle, and served as an ensign. These symbols and devises painted on the 
shields were of endless variety, "from the highest things celestial, to the 
lowest things terrestrial." 

Sometimes surcoats made of leather were worn over the armor of pol- 
ished brass or steel, to protect the wearer from the heat of the sun, and the 
devices that had been painted on the shield, were also embroidered on 
their overgarments ; thus the arms became visible to every beholder in bat- 
tle, without the aid of a standard. From this method of displaying emblems 
and armorial bearings, arose the term cote anniire or coat-of arms. 

Many of the ancient monumental effigies in England, represent men 
dressed in armor, covered with a surcoat on which are their armorial bear- 
ings, exactly corresponding with those on their battle shields. In the mid- 
dle ages, armorial devices had become so systematized that they formed a 
language which the most illiterate could understand. The learned or un- 
learned could read the symbolic picture, which was presented to the eye in 
a thousand ways, till the system was interwoven with the character and 
teaching of the people. Nearly every mansion was decorated within and 
without with armorial insignia ; the ancestry of a family was known by the 
shields in the upper parts of windows. 

The church favored armorial bearings. The knights took their banners 
to be blessed by the priests before going to engage in the Crusade wars, and 
on their return, these trophies, covered with honorable decorative charges, 
were suspended in the churches, and being of a perishable nature, the dis- 
tinctions were in time permanently displayed in the glass of windows, the 
frescoes of the walls, or carved in the stone in the building itself. 

In the infancy of heraldry, every knight assumed whatever armorial 
distinctions he pleased, without consulting his sovereign. Animals, plants, 



IIEKALDRV. xvir 



imaginary monsters, things artificial, antl objects familiar to pilgrims were 
adopted; and whenever possible, the object chosen was one the name of 
which bore some resemblance in sound to suggest the name of the bearer. 
In the shield of the .\|)pletons are three apples; in that of the liell family, 
three bells; in that of the family of Mason, three trowels; in the arms (jf 
the Swan family, three swans; in the escutcheon of the kiddells, three ears 
of rye. 

As coats-of-arms became more numerous, confusion often arose from the 
use, by ililTerent knights, of the same symbols; and this confusion was 
augmented by the practice of feudal chiefs in allowing their followers to 
bear their arms in battle as a mark of honor. In this way different coat.s- 
of-arms so closely resembled each other, that it was imperative, for dis- 
tinction's sake, that some restrictions and regulations should be laid down 
respecting the character, number, and position of the (igures represented 
on shields. This necessity led, in the course of time, to the development 
of a regular system of heraldry, and the ancient rolls show that the process 
was going on in the 13th and 14th centuries. 

In England, the assumption of arms by private individuals was first 
restrained by a proclamation from Henry V, which prohibited every one 
who had not borne arms at Agincourt to assume them, except in virtue of 
inheritance or grant from the crown. To enforce this rule, herald's visita- 
tions through the countries were instituted, all persons claiming the right 
to bear arms being warned to assemble at some stated jilace in the district, 
and to bring with them all arms, crests and pedigrees for examination by 
the herald's deputy, and present evidence of their genuineness. So strict 
were these laws regarding coats-of-arms at that time, that a man who had 
assumed certain armorial bearings without proper authority, lost one of his 
ears as a penalty. 

In the united Kingdom of Great Britain, no one is entitled to bear 
arms without a hereditary claim be descent, or a grant from the competent 
authority, this jurisdiction being executed by the Herald's College in Eng- 
land, the Lyon Court in Scotland, and the College of Arms in Ireland. It 
is illegal to use without authority, not only a coat-of-arms, but a crest. 

The passion for outward distinction is so deeply implanted in human 
nature, that in America, where all differences of rank are repudiated, men 
and women are found assuming heraldic devices, and the interest in the 
practice has so increased that hundreds of families have framed coats-of- 
arms hanging on the walls of their houses, with shields, crests, and mottoes 
engraved on their jewelry, displayed on their stationery and painted on the 
doors of their carriages in imitation of the aristocracy of Great Britain. 
Some of these arms were legally borne by the ancestors of our American 
families in the mother country, and others are spurious, having been orig- 
inally drawn or painted by men who early canvas.sed New England with 
books containing what purported to be pictures of coats-of-arm.s, crests, and 
appendages granted to families in England and Scotland, which they claimed 
our American families had a right to bear by virtue of possessing the same, 
or a similar surname. 



XMU HERALDRY. 



^rms of the familn. 

Mii.LANGES (France), Simon Millanges the distinguished citizen of Bor- 
deaux, France, had produced for him a coat-of-arms abounding in angels 
bearing pahns as emblems of victory or success. This error was attributed 
to a mistake in spelling the surname, making it " Mille-anges " or, in 
English, a thousami a)igeh. 

There was once a tradition, now exploded, making a remote ancestor, 
of the family slay so many of his enemies in battle that he was knighted 
by his sovereign on the field as Sir Mylligaunt, meaning a thousand gloves, 
or the iJiousand Jiaiulcd. 

An authentic record exists in the Department of Mss., in the National 
Library of France, of a coat-of-arms borne by John de Milligen and Caezar 
de Milligen, who were citizens of a foreign country the name of which was 
not legibly written. 

A coat-of-arms long in possession of the descendents of Samuel Milliken 
of the Scarborough (Maine) family is said to have three castles in a blue 
shield, and the family tradition is as follows : That Sir Hugh Milliken, the 
ancestor of that family was conspicuously connected with the taking of 
certain castles, that he received the honor of Knighthood and had this 
coat-of-arms granted to him. Capt. Isaac Milliken, who was a master 
mariner in early days, is authority for the foregoing statement. The 
authorities in the Lyon Office at Edinburgh find no record of such transac- 
tion nor of such a coat-of-arms.

The use of established surnames cannot be traced backward to a period 
much earlier than the middle of the tenth century. The fust came into 
use in Normandy, France, and at the coming of William the Concjueror 
(1066) were quite generally introduced into England. Many of the Nor- 
man adventurers who assisted in the Conquest had taken the names of their 
places of residence, or of villages and hamlets near their ancestral cha- 
teaux, names that were used with ^the French preposition ^/t- before them. 
Nearly all of the soldiers of William's army returned to their homes in Nor- 
mandv, and bestowed the lands awarded them in Kngland upon their 
vounger sons, who came over and settled upon them, giving to these new 
estates their own surnames. When the Norman-French language, so popular 
after the Conquest, disappeared from Kngland, the prefix t/c was almost 
universally discarded, unless retained for suphony, and the Knglish word 
"of " used as a substitute. 

The Scotch have a more expressive designation which they apply to 
families who have a territorial surname; they say, "of that ilk." In Scot- 
land, surnames were seldom used till the twelfth century, and were for a 
long time variable. The assumption of surnames by the common people 
is everywhere of a later date than that of so-called gentle families. In 
England, the number of surnames is about forty thousand, or one to every 
five hundred individuals. In Scotland, there are far fewer surnames in 
proportion to the population. 

Surnames may be divided into several classes, as territorial, character- 
istic, mechanical and personal. The names 15urbank, Burnham, P)radbury, 
Fairtield, Fairbanks, Manstield, Merrytield, Ivillburn, Swinburn, Washburn, 
Woodbridge and Woodbury are territorial or local in origin. The names 
Carpenter, Turner, Wheelright, Cartright, Brewer, Boulter, Baxter, Thatcher, 
Gardner, Goldsmith, Chaplain, Chamberlain and Csher, were all derived 
from the occupation of ancestors of those families. Among the surnames 
taken from some physical characteristic of the individual are Walker, 
Spinger, Jumper, Armstrong, Longstaff, Lockheart, Douglass, Broadhead, 
Longfellow and Crookshanks. 

Besides those surnames mentioned there is another class called patro- 
nymics often formed by a Christian name with that of son or its equivalent 
added. This form of family names prevails to a greater extent in Scandi- 
navian countries ; hence, we have Anderson, children of .\ndrew ; Hender- 
son, the son of Henry ; Malcolmson, son of Malcolm, and Peterson, son of 
Peter. 

Writers of ecjual claims to scholarship and to anticiuarian research have 
given various opinions respecting the origin and signilicance of the sur- 
names Milligan, Millican, Millikan, Milliken, Mulliken and Mulligan, some 
of the theories advanced being purely fanciful and without any documen- 
tary evidence to prove them. If we are to find the meaning of such sur- 
names we must trace them backward to their source. 



XX ORIGIN AND CHANGES OF SURNAMES. 



The late James Milliken F.sq., of New York and Bellefont, Pa., who had 
given this subject much attention and had spent considerable sums of money 
in trying to discover the derivation and meaning of the surname, found it 
to have been of Saxon-Norman origin and spelled originally '■'■ Millingas''^ 
and produced by the Normans as '■'■Millanges,'''' meaning Mill-manor, or the 
manor-house by the mill. Passing from Saxony to the Netherlands where, 
cadets of this family established themselves at an early date in history, we 
find the surname produced as *' Millinga," " Milligen," and " Millingen, ' 
and there is a village named Milligen in that country. From these earliest 
forms used by the Saxon and Norman ancestors of the family the name was 
modified in France to '' Milanges," and " Miligen " as found on old manu- 
scripts in the National Library in Paris. In early times all surnames such 
as ('hamberlain in which the letter i was used were spelled Chamberlayne. 

According to registers of sasine, in the Register House, Fdinburgh, of 
date 14 May 1633, there is mentioned James Myllighan (Milligafi), son of 
James Myllighan, of Blackni^re, Galloway. The numerous families in Cum- 
berland, Fngland, have unformily spelled their surname Millicati. In the 
south of Scotland, families have used the forms Milliken and Milligan, but 
in the northern shires some have spelled their surnames Mullikin and Mul- 
liken. 

Crossing the channel to the north of Ireland we find numerous families 
who originated in the Lowland counties of Scotland using the same ortho- 
graphy, viz. : — Milliken and Milligan. 

In the broad dialect spoken by the Lowland Scotch, milk is pronounced 
7ni(lk, and any native of the Border shires, where so many of the families 
under notice resided, Milliken would be called Mullikin, and Milligan Mul- 
ligan. Where an Englishman or an American would say to his dairy-maid, 
" milk the cows," a Scotchman would say: " Mulk the .Kye," or "Kine." 
This fact may account, in part, for the existence '\x\ Scotland, at an early 
day, of families named Millikin, Milligan, and Mullikin ; and after the re- 
moval of families to Ireland there was the change, permanently, from Mul- 
likin to Mulligan. 

We now present the earliest recorded forms of this surname found in 
the old documents of Great Britain. In his dictionary of surnames Bards- 
ley mentions a/c//// Mulkyn in Suffolk, England, of date 1273, "who prob- 
ably came from the Low Countries." He assumes that this was an isolated 
instance of the surname with the suffix kin, and that was only a sharpened 
form of the Irish Milligan ; but he furnishes no proof by citing the various 
orthographies that would necessarily appear during the gradual transition. 
And from what Irishman dwelling in the Low Countries, the Netherlands, 
so early as A.D, 1273, did this Dutchman, John Mulkyn, derive his name.' 
Bardsley did not know that there was a record in the Lyon Office, .'^linburgh, 
of ■Aja7nes Mylikyn who was appointed money tavious for life by K'.ig David 
II. in 1360, called a Florentine, and of a Donatius Milikyne, who in 1364, 
was paid for making ornaments for the same monarch. Like many others 
who are quoted as authorities on surnames, Bardsley, governed by some 
principle of etymology, was mistaken and his assumption is groundless. 
Families of Milligan were resident of the Border counties of Scotland two 
hundred years before the name appeared in Ireland, to which country it was 
carried at the plantation of Ulster, 1608-1620. But P>ardsley continues by 



ORIGJN AND, CIJAJS'GES OJ-' SLKA'AMES. XXI 

saying: "The following entr\, however, practically settles the question, 
being a halfway house between Miliigan and Millikin, viz. : — '1798. Married. 
John Chandler and Susanna Millican of St. (leorge, Hanover S(|uare." ' He 
probably diil not know that this form of s|)elling was peculiar to the families 
in Northumberland, and Cumberland, Kngland, where they had been chjmi- 
ciled for two centuries before the marriage date quoted by him, and was a 
modified fashion of the name Millikan used by a family in the South of 
Scotland. 

To satisfy the curiosity of the families who bear some form of this name 
I will quote briefly from a few of those who have published books on the 
subject. 

Barbkr. "British Family Names." Mulligan, Irish, servant to the bald- 
headed man, i.e. the priest. Milican. A local name in Scotland, or Dutch 
Miliigan. Miliken, Flemish, Milecan, personal name diniinitive of Miles. 

Maxwell. "Scottish Names of Scotland." Millegan Gaelic, Molla- 
ghan, a hillock. 

Johnston. "Place Names of Scotland." Milliken is perhaps Gaelic 
Maologan, little shaveling, as in surnames Miliigan and Mulligan. 

LowKR. " Dictionary of Family Names." Milligan-O'Milligan, an an- 
cient Irish name. Milliken, Millikin, Milligen, corruptions of Miliigan. 

GuppY. "Homes of family names in Great Britain." Millican-Milli- 
kin, Cumberland and \\'estmoreland. Miliigan rare. Milliken is characteristic 
of Northumberland. 

Ferguson. "Teutonic Names System," Milliken, Diminutive of Mel 
or Mill, to beat. 

O'Hart. "Irish Pedigrees." Maolagan (Irish, the bald little man) his 
son ; aquo O'Maolagain, anglaised Mulligan and Molyneux. 

It will be seen by the foregoing quotations that the authorities (?) do 
not agree. From such a variety the family may take their choice. So much 
from books. 

We do not find Milican among the local names of Scotland in the Gaze- 
teers. 

Molyneux is not Fnglish, but is a French form of spelling Milliken. 

The traditional theories held by some of the Scottish families are in- 
genius, and may have a logical surface but are without documentary proof. 
One statement may be summarized as follows : One of the early Kings of 
Scotland (name and date not given), required his subjects to plant trees 
for ornament and shade beside of all the principal roads of his Kingdom. 
These small saplings were called " canes " and as they were of the same 
distance from each other as the milestones they were called "mile-canes," 
and the superintendent of this arboreal employment was designated "The 
Milecane"; and this was afterwards modified or changed to Millican and 
became the surname of his family. But the name Millican is not a Scotch, 
but an Fnglish form of spelling. 

Another traditional theory. In the north of Scotland, cows were called 
Kine, as they were in "Bible times," and when the dairymaids brought them 
home at milking time, they called " come Mull, come Mull " ; and mothers 
speaking of them to their children in nursery days, called them " Mul!y 
Kine," a name which, tradition savs, was afterward applied to a cowherd, 
and in course of time, was adopted as a family name. This is made the 



XXII ORIGIN AND CHANGES OE SURNAMES. 

more plausible from the fact that a coat-of-arms was granted in Scotland- 
no date given — to a family surnamed MuUikine ; a name identical in spell- 
ing with that applied to the cows. 

Another has assumed that the name Milliken was derived from the em- 
ployment of the milkmaid when milking the cows slightly changed to Mill- 
kine and Milliken. 

Leaving all such fanciful and traditionary theories relating to the devia- 
tion of the family cognomen, we go back to solid historic ground of docu- 
mentary statements where we find such primitive forms as Alulkyn and 
Alilckyjie, aud from these by an easy transition the names MuUikin and 
Milliken were evolved. In passing from one nation to another and, conse- 
quently, from one language to another, many surnames have been changed, 
and this statement applies to the families under notice. 

Note — Thomas Milliken of Isle Magee, Ireland, informs me that in the Province of 
Ulster, the Presbyterian families spell their surname " Milliken " and " Millikin," \\hile 
the Episcopalians spell theirs " jNIilligan." Author. 

The earliest emigrants of the family known to have settled in the Ameri- 
can colonies were James Mullikin and Patrick Mullikin, evidently brothers, 
who came with Lord Baltimore and sat down on lands in Maryland, as the 
Dorchester county records prove, in 1654. This family, as well as their 
kindred in Virginia and South Carolina, have spelled the name " Mullikin." 
A branch of the Scottish family settled in Boston, Mass., as early as 1680, 
have since spelled the name " MuUiken " ; while some of their kindred re- 
moving to Maine, have almost always used the form "Milliken." 

The family from Castledawson, Ireland, early planted in Washington, 
Mass., and in Middleton, N.H., spelled their names " Millikan," and " Milli- 
ken " but the latter was adopted only by the New Hampshire branches. 
Families descended from \^'illiam Millikan, a Quaker, who removed from 
Chester County, Pa., to Randolph Co., N.C. in 1758, have nearly all followed 
their ancestors form of " Millikan." 

The families early settled in Georgia, and their kindred in Tennessee 
and other of the Southern states, evidently came from Cumberland, Eng- 
land, and spell the name " Millican." However, tradition says the name 
was early changed from " Milligan." 

One family, and one only, a branch of the Maine stock, removing to 
Georgia early in the fifties, have omitted the middle letter and spell their 
names " Milikin " ; an action to be regretted. 

On some early records and gravestones in Massachusetts I believe the 
name " Mullicken " has been found, but the family have not, for genera- 
tions, varied from " MuUiken ". 

The changes of this, like all surnames, are easily accounted for as the 
cadets of the family passed from one country to another and, consequently, 
their names from one language to another. This family designation may 
be traced, with its possessors, from its original Saxon and Norman forms 
of Millingas and Millanges through all of its mutations in France, Eng- 
land, Scotland, Ireland and the American and British Colonies, to its present 
varied forms of orthography ; and the conspicuous and stereotyped character- 
istics of the numerous branches of the family bear witness to the unmistak- 
able relationship between them.

In his attempt to produce an authentic history of this ancient, numerous 
and widely distributed family the compiler has employed every available 
means to aid him in tracing it to its origin. 

No circumstantial account of the remote ancestry, before the family was 
known by a distinctive title, can be given. They were derived from the 
Saxon branch of the Teutonic race and early assumed the name Milliiigas. 
The early history of the Saxons is contradictory and uncertain. They in-' 
habited a country remarkable for its romantic natural scenery and fertility, 
and when at home in times of peace they were a pastoral and agricultural 
people. They cultivated the cereals and flax and had numerous flocks and 
herds upon the hills and plains. Their simple clothing was homespun of 
linen and wool. Their extensive forests afforded abundant timber for their 
dwellings ; their manner of life was primitive and wholesome. 

The Saxons, however, like their northern neighbors and kinsmen, the 
Scandinavians, were a restless, roving, and warlike people, and during their 
predatory excursions in midseval times distributed representatives of their 
race throughout nearly every part of Continental Europe. Among the 
Saxon rovers who went from their native country, cadets of the Millingas 
familv established themselves in the Netherlands where the surname is 
found in early and modern documents. They figured in the Provinces of 
Groningen, Friesland and Overyssel, and some of them were the subjects 
of royal favor and were granted heraldic bearings as honorary rewards for 
services rendered in official stations. 

Branches of the family still exist in the Netherlands and bear the sur- 
names Millinga, Milligen, and Millingen ; all evolved from the original 
Saxon form. 

The first of whom we have found authentic record in the Netherlands 
was Capt. Ernst Millinga who, according to a bill of sale found in the 
Groningen Provincial archives, of date 15th November, 1603, buys a house 
situated in the Poelestraat in the town of Groningen, He also came in 
possession of a landed estate at Faan in the same province, known in the 
documents of the 17th century as the " Millinga-head." At the same time 
he took possession of a neighboring house, Byma at Faan. In the year 
1 61 3, he had the church built at Faan and a sculptured stone fixed in the 
eastern corner of the building is a memorial of the event. 

NiCLAES Van Millinga, son of the preceding, married in 162 1, Gelwer 
Hillebrandes, and was acknowledged in the registers of the Reformed 
church of Groningen in 1622, as the proprietor of Byma at Faan. He was 
also mentioned in the chronicles of Vander Houwe in 1636, as proprietor 
and tenant of that house. 

Sir Niclaes Van Millinga, was Deputy of the town and country in 
1628, 1629, 1630, 1641, 1646. He must have died between 1648 and 1651, 
because his widow purchased a tomb in Martin's church, Groningen, 19th

July 1651. He had two sons born in 1632 and 1633; and they were re- 
corded as students in the University of droningen iSth Oct. 1650, as follows: 
"Ernkstus a Mii.linca, Omlandus, Aetatis iS. phil. 
"Jacohus a Millinga, Omlandus, Aetatis 17. phil." 

Ernestus Van Millinga married first, Anna Grays Lellens, and sec- 
ond, October 1666, Lucretia Farges who was born in 1618, and his brother, 
Jacobus \'an Millinga was a witness. He, Ernestus, was Deputy of town 
and country in 1668, and in 167 i he was member of the Court of Finance. 
He died between 167 1 and 1675. In 167S, a certain Sir Hugo Unico 
Enens, whose mother was probably a sister of Ernest and Jacob, inherited 
the castle of Byma. 

The beforementioned families were probably related to one Claes Mil- 
linga who was the Burgomaster of Dalen in the province of Henthe. There 
was also in the province of Friesland a branch of this Millinga family bear- 
ing the same coat-of-arms, but their name appears but once in the heraldic 
records there. See Arms of Millinga in this volume. 

Burgomaster's Letter. The following reply to the author's inquiry is 
of interest: "I report that there died hefe Oct. 7, 1895, Gerret Milmgen, 
77 years of age. District School Inspector, Pensioned Director of the Royal 
Normal School, and Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau, Husband of 
Engelina Theodora Van Exter, son of SnitJN Van Milligex, who died at 
Hoorn, and Maritje Zeeman, who died at Amsterdam. I inform you further 
that there are still resident in this city, two children of this person named, 
Maria Van Milligen and Elizabeth Van Milligen.* Other persons of 
this name do not appear in the registers of this city. 

The Burgomaster of Groningen, 

E. J. Van Starkexborgh." 

Note — The Milliken family at large will ever be indebted to the late Hon. James Mil- 
liken of New York — formerly known as of Bellefout, Pennsylvania — who at much pains 
and considerable expense procured much of the information now incorporated in the in- 
troductory section of this volume which relates to the origin and early generations of the 
family. For many years he had been a diligent searcher for everything that would throw 
light upon the history of the European branches of the clan ; had visited the localities in 
Scotland and Ireland where his ancestors had lived and had assembled copious notes re- 
lating to the subject which, in 1S95, he placed in the author's hands. As soon as he was 
advised of an attempt to compile and publish a genealogy of the numerous American 
branches of the family, he instituted a thorough search, conducted by an experienced ar- 
chivest and copyist, in the great liljraries of Paris, Bordeux and Ronen, in France, which 
resulted in the discovery of documents from which many interesting historical and bio- 
graphical particulars relating to the families in that country were extracted. Mr. Milliken 
employed every available means to guard against errors and verify these statements and 
pronounced them " perfectly reliable." He also called the search " exhaustive," but much 
additional data has since been discovered, both on the Continent and in Great Britain, by 
the author. 

*The author of this volume opened correspondence with Elizabeth Van Milligen of 
Groningen, and requested more particulars concerning her ancestors and present family 
connections, I)ut this request was not granted. He also solicited the loan of her late 
father's photograph for reproduction in this book, but she had some scruples against its 
appearance in an American publication, believing her family not to be in any way related 
to those of the same name in England, and feeling quite sure of its being named for a 
village in the Netherlands. This theory is not supported by the early documents, and the 
village probably derived its name from the family ; a not uncommon event. She intro- 
duced the name of a distinguished physician now in the service of the Sultan of Turkey, 
resident in Constantinople, named Alillingen. 



XXVI COMPENDIUM OF FAMILY HISTORY. 

In passing from Saxony to France the name Millinga and Millingas was 
produced as Millanges, but the history of that country affords no evidence 
that families bearing this or cognate titles were ever prolific during their 
early or later residence there ; and but few persons figured in the annals now 
extant. If descendents of the Saxon-Norman families of Millingas or Mil- 
langes exist in France at the present time, they reside in some agricultural 
or obscure province. The following interesting items were procured by an 
exhaustive and expensive search in the Department of Manuscripts of the 
National Library of France. 

Simon Millanges, a distinguished citizen and eminent scholar, de- 
scended from an ancient Saxon ancestry, was b. at Vert, in the Province of 
Limousin, France, about the year 1540, and died at Bordeux in 1623 at 
the venerable age of 83 years. He was a professor of belle-lettres in the 
college of Guyenne, an expert among the grammarians of the realm in the 
Latin language, and was thoroughly versed in Greek. In 1572, he founded 
in the city of Bordeux a printing establishment of the first order and soon 
obtained great celebrity. The jurists of the realm assisted him financially ; 
he had bestowed upon him "lettres de Bourjoisee," and he and his descen- 
dents were exempted from all duties of imposition which burdened the 
people of Bordeux at that period. He was named printer to the Kingdom 
in 1620, and his name was given to a street in the city. He had two sons, 
. James Millanges and William Millanges, who continued the printing 
business in Bordeux long after the death of their father. 

The Saxon name Millingas, produced as Millanges in Normandy was 
the cause of much misunderstanding and humor, for in consequence of a 
similar pronunciation it was supposed to be synonymous with Mille-anges, a 
thousand angels, and the distinguished citizen of Bordeux had produced for 
him coats-of-arms abounding in angels bearing palms as emblems of victory, 
with absurd mottos to heighten the humor. 

The following found in the archives of the National Library of France, 
proves the existence of the family as known by a name almost identical with 
the ancient Saxon orthography : Mr. Christophe Milingas and Peter 
MiLiNGAS, court lawyers, and Master John Milingas, were plaintiffs in 
two suits of law for the recovery of a portion of their mother's estate ; one 
suit being of date 13th Apr., 1669, and the other of date 27th Jan., 1672. 
Their sisters Frances Milingas and Anabel Milingas, were associated 
with them in subsequent proceedings, both suits being based on transaction 
in 1643. 

In the same great repository of valuable documents was discovered the 
reference to a coat-of-arms assigned to John de Milligen and Caesar de 
Milligen who lived in the time of William the Conqueror, but from a district 
of a foreign country, the name in the record being quite allegible, and a 
clause in the reference seems to have been in ridicule of the pretentious 
title of Caesar. 

At the time of the Norman Conquest, members of the Millanges and 
Milligen families crossed the sea and established themselves on the English 
and Scottish Border — in Cumberland, Northumberland, Ayrshire, Dumfrie- 
shire, and Gallowshire, where they have ever since lived and multiplied. 

In writing the history of this family after their settlement in Great 
Britain, we are confronted by a problem difficult to solve, and the result of

an extended investif};ation has diffused no additional li^ht upon the sub- 
ject. We have stated that the family was represented in the liorder Shires 
of England and Scotland soon after the Conquest; this fact is abundantly 
proven by the frequent occurrence of the name in the early land rej^isters. 
But we have found record in the documents deposited at the I^yon Othce in 
Kdinburg, of a Jamks Milkykkn, designated a Florentine, who was appointed 
by King David II. in 1360, Alonetaviotis (coin maker and royal lianker) 
for life; and in 1364, one Donaiius Mulkkvn was paid for making orna- 
ments for the same King. We know that the Florentines, being expert 
workmen in the precious metals and stones, were at that period in great de- 
mand at the courts of Europe, but we naturally wisii to 'i\v\(X out how these 
Mileykens under the royal patronage of Scotland were related to the Mil- 
ligans and Millikens settled on the Border; yes, and we look still farther 
backward and inquire about the origin of those F'lorentine families. Were 
they derived from the same old Saxon stock ? And we now call the reader's 
attention to an earlier record which produces the name of a'joFiN Mirr.KVV 
in the county of Suffolk, England, 1273. Bardsley says this is an isolated 
name and probably came from the "Low Countries." 

If these Florentine and Low Country representatives of the race left de- 
scendents we may plausibly assume that the Milligans, Millikens, Millicans 
and ^lullikens of England and Sco^tland had a double origin. At any rate 
the old form of spelling the surname and the orthography in the record of 
an early grant of arms in Scotland (no date) furnishes a hint that the F'lor- 
entine Milekyns were subjects of royal favor and received heraldic honors 
for their services.. 

We must now pause in our treatment of the more remote ancestral his- 
tory of the family and turn our attention to the condition of those who es- 
tablished homes in Scotland. Here we may stand on solid historical 
ground and present an account of domestic life and incidents of great in- 
terest. They appear on record first in Gallowayshire which early comprised 
parts of Ayrshire and Dumfrieshire, where, after the change of boundaries, 
the families of Milliken appear. Galloway in the southwestern corner of 
Scotland, is rich in romantic scenery and historical association ; possessing 
a remarkable combination of sterile grandeur and Arcadian beauty, and is 
favored with a climate of mildness. 

Here the Milligans and Millikens were shepherds and small farmers. A 
family of the name comprising many generations and from which many 
branches and sub-branches have sprung, was settled for more than two 
hundred years, from 1490, at the farm of Blackmyre, and the names of 
successive proprietors of this old agricultural and pastoral estate are of fre- 
quent occurrence in the early local land records. Their herds and Hocks 
were scattered over the green hills and their sons were trained to handle 
sheep and cattle. Surrounded by the wild grandeur environing their homes, 
those Milligans listened to the lowing of kine, the bleating of lambs and 
the tinkle of sheep-bells for many generations. They were in constant 
touch with nature and studied her in all her moods. >Ioreover, those were 
godly men. They read God's law in creation and in His written word. 
They carried their bibles to the hills, and seated upon high shelving rock, 
under the shelter of' some ancient tree, wrapped in their coarse shepherd's 
plaids, they perused the inspired volumes until they were familiar with its

contents. What wonder that such men were devout worshippers of the 
Infinite ? The}' were priests in their own families, laid down holy precepts 
for the government of their children, and their own godly lives were silent 
exponents of the gospel. Twenty generations reared in such homes and 
educated under such influences had stamped upon them the indelible seal 
of faith ; a faith that stood them in good stead amid the experiences of 
suffering for righteousness' sake, through which many of them were called 
to pass in the days that tried men's souls. 

The families of Milliken and Milligan were among the most strenuous 
adherents of the Covenant ; they were of the extreme branch of Presby- 
terians and the faithful followers of Richard Cameron. When driven from 
the churches by the preaching of the papists they resorted to the fields and 
mountains to listen to their own chosen preachers. Around many a fireside 
in the Millikens humble homes, families of neighbors assembled to study 
God's word and sing the psalms of the Shepherd King of Israel. These 
persons were af length driven from their homes and wandered with their 
wives and children amid storm and floods over mountains and mosshaggs ; 
they suffered from hunger, cold, nakedness and wounds ; they slept in dens 
and ca,ves and were hunted down like wild beasts. Their zeal made them 
the objects of intense hatred by Claverhouse and he watched with vigilance 
for every opportunity to wreak vengeance upon them. 

The Register of the Privy Council of Scotland contains the names of 
seven Milligans who, in 1637, signed the petition against the service-book 
of the prelates ; they were as follows : 

JAMES Milligan in Arndaroche. 

John Milligan in Cairnmono. 

John Milligan in Crossmichael. 

Richard Milligan in Crossmichael. 

Robert Milligan in Broigmarke. 

Robert Milligan in Holms of Dalquharne. 

Roger Milligan in Arndaroche. 

These men and many others were signers of the Covenant* the follow- 
ing year (1638) and tradition says some of them as old men, made the 
journey on foot to Edinburgh and inscribed their names with their own 

* The National Covenant was signed on the 28th of February, 1638, in the Greyfrairs 
churchyard, Edinburgh, and continued until 8 o'clock in the evening. This " fair parch- 
ment above an ell square," was laid upon the broad horizontal gravestones in the burying- 
ground and signed by as many as could approach. Hundreds added to their names the 
words, " till death," and some opened veins in their arms and wrote their names with their 
own blood. Some wept and many shouted for joy. 

Note — It was once the melancholy privilege of the compiler of this volume to make a 
pilgrimage to the localities mentioned in this historical sketch. He stood upon the green 
hills of Galloway where, more than four centuries before, the Milligans lived and pastured 
their flocks ; he gazed downward upon the dreary moors and moss-haggs where they fol- 
lowed Cameron and where they were hunted like wild beasts by the relentless Claver- 
house; he visited Airdmoss and Bothwell bridge, where so many of God's saints were 
slaughtered ; he wandered sadly amid the ancient graves of the (ireyfriars churchyard 
where the immortal Covenant was signed and where, afterwards, so many were imprisoned 
to suffer and die ; he crossed the turbulent waters of the North Sea and beheld the lonely 
graves of the shipwrecked Covenanters upon the Orcadian coast ; and in every place once 
marked by the feet of those godly men and women, his fancy, supplementing the verbal 
history of their sufferings, vividly portrayed in realistic mental pictures the awful scenes.

blood upon the Covenant in the (Jreylriars churchyard, and their names, or 
the names of C'ovenantinj:; descendents, apjiear in the lists of those who 
subsequently sutVered under C'laverhouse. 

Some of the family were with Cameron at Airdsmoss* and 15othwell 
bridge, and among the 1,200 who were made prisoners and confined in 
Grevfriars churchyard for five months with no cQvering but the canojn- of 
heaven, and no place of rest but the damp ground between the graves, the 
Millikens suffered. Of these, some died and a few escaped, but 250 were, 
on the 15th of November, put on board a ship at Leith Roads to be ban- 
ished to Barbadoes and New Jersey. They were in charge of a monster 
in human form named Patterson. The space alloted them was so small that 
only those dangerously ill were permitted to recline. None were permitted 
to see their friends, and but scanty food was given them. A sum of money 
collected for them was not given them, and they were treated with cruelty 
beyond description. 

After a stormy passage the vessel reached the Orkney Isles on the loth 
of December and was driven by the fury of the tempest upon the coast. 
The prisoners entreated to be landed and confined in jail, but the hatches 
were battered down to make their escape impossible. The vessel parted 
amidships and the mast fell upon the rocks. \\'hen some of the prisoners 
would have escaped they were pushed otif by the sailors, and only forty 
reached the land. The bodies that were washed ashore were carried by ' 
the Orcadian fishermen to a piece of ground called Scarvating, and there 
buried. Only a few rough stones taken from the sea-beach, marked their 
graves. 

Three persons named Alilligan under sentence of banishment are known 
to have been among those wrecked on the coast of Orkney at Deerness. 
These were kinsmen. 

Robert Milligan of the parish of Glencairn in Dumfrieshire, perished, 
and was buried at Deerness, Orkney. 

Thomas Milligan of the parish of Closeburn, in Nithsdale, Dumfrie- 
shire, perished, and was buried at Deerness, Orkney. 

John Milligan of the parish of Glencairn, in Nithsdale, in Dumfrie- 
shire, escaped, and is supposed to have been banished to Barbadoes. 

One of the " Martvrs of the ocean wave," was the widow of a lohn Mil- 
ligan, a zealous champion of the Covenant. She was a woman of remark- 
able faith and fortitude as the following account will show : 

"Margaret MacLaughlan, widow of John Milligan, aged sixty-three 
years, a pattern of piety and virtue, was a zealous Christian who, having 

*AiRD.Muss is a morass in Ayrshire where on July 20th, 16S0, there was a sharp bat- 
tle between sixty Coventers under Richard Cameron and a detachment of dragoons, and 
where this good man fell, At the spot where the strife was the most deadly, a monument 
consisting of a large, flat stone, marked with the names ot the Coventers who fell, and 
with figures of an open Bible and a hand grasping a sword, was laid down about fifty 
years after the event. A modern monument has superseded this. The following lines 
are familiar to readers of Scottish poetry : 

" In a dream of the night I was wafted away, 
To the moorland of mist where the martyrs lay ; 
Where Cameron's sword and his Bible are seen, 
Engraved on the stone where the heather grows green."

refused to take the oath of abjuration was taken by the soldiers while de- 
voutly worshipping God in her own house, and being indicted of being at 
Bothwell Bridge and Airmoss (with Cameron) and twenty field conven- 
ticles,* and as many house conventicles, after a long and distressing impris- 
onment 'without refreshment or fire, bed and diet,' was sentenced to death 
by drowning." The follqwing account from Wodrow's Cloud of Witnesses 
may be of interest : 

"Upon the nth day of May 1684, Margaret Laughlan in the parish of 
Kirkinner ( Wigtonshire), and Margaret Wilson in Glenvarnock in the shire 
of Galloway, being sentenced to death for their non-compliance with pre- 
lacy, and refusing to swear the oath of abjuration, by the laird of Lagg, 
Captain Strachan, Col. David Graham and Provost Cultroon, who com- 
manded them to receive their sentence upon their knees which they re- 
fusing, were pressed down by force till they had received it ; and so were 
by their order tied to a stake within the seamark, in the water of Blednock, 
near Wigton, where, after they had made them wrestle hard with the waves ; 
which flowing, swelled on them by degrees ; and has sometimes thrust them 
under water and pulled them out again to see if they would resent ; they 
enduring death with undaunted courage, yielded up their spirits to God." 

Note — During the persecution of the Covenanters eighteen thousand persons suffered 
death or some form of penal affliction on account of their faith. Nearly two thousand 
were banished to the various plantations, of whom several hundred perished by ship- 
wreck or cruel treatment. About three thousand suffered all the horrors of imprison- 
ment in the most loathsome dungeons, and many were subjected to tortures shocking to 
humanity. Seven thousand went into voluntary exile. Six hundred and eighty were 
killed in encounters with soldiers. Five hundred were put to death in cold blood, and 
four hundred murdered under forms of law. Multitudes were reduced to circumstances 
of abject misery; and multitudes perished through cold, hunger, and fatigue while wan- 
dering on the mountains and moors, or hiding in dens and caves of the earth. 

Early Scotch Homes. At the period when the Millikens first sat down 
in the Border shires of Scotland they were uneducated and lived in a very 
primitive and rude condition. From a monk who visited the locality in 
the fourteenth century we learn that their houses were built of rough stones 
without lime, the roofs thatched with straw held down by ropes and stones, 
or covered with turf. There were no glass windows, the light being ad- 
mitted through neats bladder which was stretched over a small frame. 
Galloway cowskins were used as a substitute for doors. There were no 
lums (chimneys) and fires were kindled on flat stones laid upon the earth. 
The peat-reek accumulated on the thatch in the roof, and during rainfall 
dissolved and ran clown in inky streams upon the occupants. The clothing 
was of the coarsest homespun wool. Leather aprons were worn by the 
men. Food consisted principally of meat and wind-dried fish, but bread 
was eaten as a dainty. The males were of low stature, but bold and strong ; 
the females were fair and "given to the pleasures of love." Their horses 
were small, ambling nags, ungroomed, and driven without bridle-reins. The 
cattle were small, of black color and hornless. The sheep, pasturing on 
the hills, were dwarfed but hardy. All were shepherds or herdsmen. 

The scene within the house was rude and semi-civilized. A long, high- 
backed seat near the fire accomodated the family. A small table of deals 

* Religious services held by the Nonconformists' or Covenanters. 



COMPENDIUM OF FA Mil. ) ' /IISTOR 3 '. X \ \ I 

stood against the wall. Culinary utensils were few. The spinning wheel 
and loom were in every house. Savage sheep-dogs were alhnved nearly as 
much liberty within doors as members of the family. Caddy lambs had 
pens in the house-corners, and domestic fowls roosted in the roof. Strings 
of dried hsh were suspended from rafters; shepherds plaids hung on lines 
at the wallside. 

Such were the material conditions of the shepherd farmers four cen- 
turies after the ancestors of the family left Saxony; but two centuries later, 
during the days of the Covenanting troubles, they had advanced from this 
semi-civilized state to a more comfortable condition of rural existence. 
They were then dwelling in low-walled houses built of stone and lime, laid 
by masonry. As was the general custom at that time, even in the towns, 
and continued in many parts of Scotland, the roofs were thatched with 
straw. Strong doors and small glass windows were afforded. The Hoors 
were earthern. Fires were still built upon broad, flat hearthstones. Heavy 
plank seats were placed at the wallside. The beds were built in form like 
a ship's berth, and permanently fixed. The food was prepared in the most 
simple manner and was coarse but wholesome. Clothing for male and 
female was of linen and wool, homespun and homewoven. Washing was done 
at the burnsides, and heavy fabrics were beaten with paddles. 

When the inhuman persecution of the non-conformists was ended by 
the bold stroke of William the prince of Orange, a few Millikens who 
had survived their wanderings and sufferings emerged from their hiding- 
places among the mountains of Galloway and came back to their homes ; 
and a writer who was conversant with the facts informs us that these re- 
turning exiles were almost naked ; that the hair and beard of the men remain- 
ing unshorn was long, unkempt and matted ; that the women, prematurely 
old from exposure and hardships, were clad in hlthy rags and in no condi- 
tion for public appearance. Tangled masses of hair fell heavily upon their 
shoulders. Children born in the wilderness were unclothed and famished. 

Around their humble hearthstones these old Christian heroes, when 
snowy locks adorned their temples and fell upon their bending shoulders, 
related again and again to their grandchildren their experiences of suffering. 
They had listened to the preaching of Knox and Melville ? and to the trum- 
pet voice of Richard Cameron as he stood upon the hillsides of Galloway 
proclaiming the gospel of the Covenant ; and these descendents were taught 
to regard the characters of those who followed this Christian martyr with 
unbounded veneration. Inspired by the same spirit and following the same 
faith, the duties of family worship and religious instruction were regularly 
attended to, and the Bible was regarded as the most important volume in 
the family library. Their favorite literature consisted of such works as 
Woodrows "Cloud of Witnesses," and Howies "Scotch Worthies." 

The Millikens in Ireland. As a majority of the families named 
Milliken, Milligan and Mulliken in Canada, Australia and the l- nited States 
are descended from a. Scotch-Irish ancestry we cannot do justice to our 
treatment of their history without giving a comprehensive account of those 
who early established homes in Ireland. 



In the year 1603, King James commenced the undertaking of planting 
six counties in the Province of Ulster, Ireland, with his Scottish subjects. 



XXXII COMPENDIUM OF FAMILY HISTORY. 

He had been successful in crushing the Irish rebellion, had confiscated ris- 
ing two million acres of land in Ulster, and conceived the idea of sending 
his own countrymen to occupy the acquired territory. The Scotch did not 
view the project favorably, however, and for some time the arrangement 
was not successful. Finally the King issued a proclamation announcing his 
"unspeakable love and tender affection" for his Scottish subjects and offered 
such strong inducements that a few families from the Western Highlands 
removed to Ulster in 1612. The King said of the original lands: "They 
have been disburdynt of the former rebellion and disobedient inhabitants 
thereof who in the justice of God, to their schame and confusion, are 
overthrown." 

The settlers who removed from the Highland shires on the west coast 
of Scotland "were as restless as the waves of the seas" and did not prove 
acceptable, and a new list of names of applicants was procurred ; and the 
commissioner's agent writing the King assures him that these "Inland Scots" 
(since known as Lowland Scotch) were much superior to the first consign- 
ment ; that they were of "better stuff" and came with "better port." 

The conditions of settlement in Ulster were arbitrary. Each undertaker 
of 2,000 acres was bound by the covenants of his patent to allow timber to 
his tenants for building purposes for the space of three years, provided it 
grew on his allotment of lands, and was not found on those adjoining. His 
fee-farmers were to build vicinitim. He was to have ready in his house or 
castle, muskets, calivers, and hand-weapons sufficient to arm twenty-four 
men ; was to hold 660 acres in demesne, alienating all the remainder ; was 
to pay for his 2,000 acres the annual rent of ten pounds, thirteen shillings 
and fourpence ; was not to alienate or demise any lands to i7jere Irish, or to 
others who would not take the oath of supremacy. Each undertaker of 
2,000 acres was required to give a bond of four hundred pounds binding 
him or his heirs to build one dwelling house of brick or stone, surrounded 
by a strong court or bawn within three years, reckoning from Easter 16 10. 
He must plant on his land eight able men of eighteen years or upwards, 
born m the inward part of Scotland* The undertaker was to be present in 
person, or by such other person as may be permitted to act as his represen- 
tative, during the space of five years after the feast of St. Michael the arch- 
angel, 1 6 10; and he was not to alienate any of his lands during the said 
five years save to his undertakers whom he was to settle there. They were 
not to grant any leases for less than twenty-one years, and were required 
to prevent the Scotch tenants from marrying and fostering with the Irish. 

It will be seen from the above that the King was careful to introduce 
the old feudal system into the Plantation of Ulster. The undertakers or 
landlords, must have been persons possessed of considerable means to as- 
sume the responsibilities of settlement. They were selected with much care 
by the commissioners appointed by the King, who, says Hill, appear to 
have known something of the applicants for lands before the Scottish Secre- 
tary had forwarded his roll of names. Hay wrote that he had received a 
list of new undertakers for Ireland, being men of greater stuff and ability 
than the first consignment. Many who desired to hold a portion of the 

*Many of the Highland Scotch families were of Roman Catholic faith, and as this 
was to be a Protestant settlement they were prohibited.

Ulster land were doomed to disappointment, for in the summer of 1609, 
only twenty-eight applicants out of one hundred and sixteen were success- 
ful. Of the seventy-four applicants whose names were on the second rf)ll, 
only thirteen obtained " proportions " of the Ulster lands. As a precaution, 
men were delegated by the commissioners to visit the Lowlands of Scotland 
where the applicants lived that they might ascertain whether thev possessed 
sufficient substantial means to entitle them to settle in. Ireland. 

Among the numerous tenants induced by the undertakers to remove 
from Scotland to Ulster were many families named Milliken and Milligan 
who had been sheep farmers in Ciallowayshire, Ayrshire, and Dumfresshire,* 
and these Protestants became the progenitors of a mighty host who have 
since borne the surnames in Canada, Australia and the United States. 

We wish the readers of this sketch, whether of Milliken blood or gentiles, 
to distinctly understand that those who were born on the Ulster land and 
called " Scotch-Irish " did not have a drop of Irish blood in their veins ; 
they were not the children of a Scotch father and an Irish mother. 

Macaulay the distinguished historian, says: "They sprang from differ- 
ent stocks. They spoke a different language. They had different national 
characters as strongly opposed as any two races in Europe. Thev were in 
widely different stages of civilization. Between two such populations there 
was little sympathy, and centuries of calamity and wrong had engendered a 
strong prejudice and antipathy. The Ueltic race were called Irish and ad- 
hered to the church of Rome. On Ireland's soil resided two hundred thous- 
and Colonists proud of their Saxon blood and Protestant faith, * * * 

There could not be equality between men who lived in comfortable houses 
and men who lived in filthv sties ; between men who subsisted on bread and 
those who fed on potatoes ; between men who spoke the language employed 
by philosophers, orators and poets, and men who communicated with each 
other in a chattering jargon with a brogue at each end of every word. 

The blood of the Scot and Celt did not comingle, the red current was 
not tributary from one to the other. They were as rigid in their distinction 
as were the Hebrews and inhabitants of Canaan, and would not intermarry. 
In crossing to Ireland the Scottish emigrants carried their broad Scotch 
dialect with them and held on to it, transmitting it to their children una- 
dulterated and unimpaired. They sang Scotland's sacred hymns as sang 
their Covenanting ancestors amid Scotland's glens, and the songs of Low- 
land poets awakened echoes on Ireland's moors." 

Tliis broad Scotch dialect that had survived unalloyed in IHster for a 
century was brought to the American Colonies and continued to be the 
dialect spoken in the Scotch-Irish families from Maine to Georgia until the 
last of the original emigrants had passed away ; then it was heard in a mod- 
ified form by their descendents. James Milliken of Ohio writing of his 

* The residence of many of the Millikens who fled from Scotland to Ireland to escape 
from the bloody Claverhouse was only temporary, and when by a change of government 
or policy persecution subsided they returned to their native land where in the border 
counties they established permanent homes as farmers and herdsmen, and some de- 
scendents a few generations down the line went into England and became wealthy mer- 
chants and manufacturers ; while others held civil commissions under the King. .Some 
have distinguished themselves in the British army ; some are men of letters and pro- 
fessionals.

grandfather who came from Dromore, Ireland, to Pennsylvania about 1760, 
says : "He disliked to be called an Irishman and insisted that he was of 
pure Scottish blood. He used the broad language spoken by the Lowland 
Scotch peasantry and sang Scotch songs as he sat on his loom." And this 
statement is significant of all the Millikens who settled in America. An 
old lady of this name, the granddaughter of Alexander Milliken who came 
from Castledawson, .Ireland, remembered many of the Scotch hymns and 
songs heard in her childhood among New Hampshire's hills ; and her father's 
common speech was in the broad Scotch dialect. The early families of 
Milliken in Scarborough, Maine, though born in America, used the same 
language brought from Scotland by their parents, and the late Jacob Mil- 
liken, the centenarian, was often heard to use language and phrases peculiar 
to the Lowlands of Scotland. 

In his address at the Scotch-Irish Congress, Rev. John S. Macintosh 
said of this people : — " Peculiar and royal race ; yes, that indeed is our race ! 
I shrink not from magnifying my house and blood with a deep thanksgiving 
to God who made us to differ, and sent His great messenger to fit us for our 
great earth-task — task as peculiar and royal as the race itself. I shame me 
not because of the Lowland thistle and the Ulster gorse, of the Covenanter's 
banner or the Ulsterman's pike. We Scotch-Irish are a peculiar people who 
have left our own broad, distinct mark wherever we have come. Today we 
stand out sharply distinguished in a score of points from all other races. 
These marks, like ourselves, are strong and stubborn. Years do not change 
them. The passing decades leave them unmodified. Contact with other 
people and new fashions have never rubbed down the angles nor eliminated 
any of the elements. Crossing channels or seas ; residence in new countries, 
have left our people as distinct as before. The same methods, tough faiths, 
unyielding grit, granite hardness, closemouthed self repression, clear-cut 
speech, blunt truthfulness, God fearing honesty, loyal friendship, defiance of 
death — these are some of the traits of the Scotch-Irish. These are birth- 
marks and indelible. They are great soul-features. They are principles — 
of four classes: religious, moral, intellectual and political." 

In both Lowlander and Ulsterman the same traits are conspicuious ; 
the strong racial pride, the same hauteur and self-assertion, the same close 
mouth, the same firm will. "The stiff heart for the steek brae," They still 
insist that "\^'e are no Eerish, but Scoatch." All of their old tales, tradi- 
tions, songs, poetry, heroes and home-speech are of Lowland types. The 
clannish spirit was very marked in the Colonists of Ulster. They protested 
against a settlement of a promiscious character, they called for an allotment 
and assignment of lands where kinsfolk, neighbors, and countrymen might 
live in communities ; where there could be harmonious faiths, forms of wor- 
ship, customs, friendships, and family ties. They carried with them the 
spirit of their old homes, and guarded that with sacred care. 

And this same arrangement was largely carried out when the Ulsterman 
and their families came to the American Colonies ; they came in commu- 
nities, by churches and families who were related by blood or marriage ; 
and there is scarcely an instance where, among the early emigrants from 
Ulster, a Scotch-Irish family became isolated. Wherever they sat down 
after their settlement in America, they exhibited the same clannish spirit 
and fashion. 



COMPENDIUM OF FAMILY IIISTOKY. WW 

The removal of the Millikens and Milligans from the Lowlands of Scot- 
land to the Ulster counties was, in many respects, a misfortune; to use an 
old New England figure, it was like "jumping from the frying-pan into the 
fire." They tied from the land of their nativity to escape from religious 
persecution and oppression only to encounter almost equal sulTerings in 
their adopted homes. Those whose lands had been confiscated not only 
hated the King but all of his Scottish subjects. If it was known that any 
of the new occupants of the land had been in the army and were engaged 
in any of the battles, such were the objects of the most malevolent hatred. 
It has been related that Emanuel Millikin who fought at the 15oyne in 1690, 
along with his sons who stood by his side in the ranks, were persecuted vin- 
dictively by the Irish Catholics, and some of them left their lands in Sligo 
and fled to other counties. The knowledge of the service of these Milli- 
kins in the war was handed down from father to son in the families of their 
Irish neighbors, and so long as one of the name descended from the old 
soldier remained on his land grant, they were in constant danger. 

The same description of suffering will pertinently apply to Alexander 
Milliken and his sons and descendents who lived near Castledawson in the 
county of Londonderry. A vivid tradition embalming the particulars of 
persecutions from the Catholic Irish was often told at the firesides of his 
posterity in Massachusetts and New Hampshire for two or three gener- 
ations, and faint echoes of the story may still be heard from the lips of 
some venerable member of the family. 

The same relations of sufferings were heard in the homes of the Milli- 
ken emigrants wherever they sat down in the American or British colonies, 
and the same spirit of hatred still exists in Ireland ; ready, like slumbering 
embers, to burst into devouring flame at the least provocation when there 
is any hope of escaping punishment. 

The sons of the dispossessed Irish land-owners deprived of their antici- 
pated inheritance resorted to the vast areas of woodland then existing in 
Ulster and became woodkenie, or robbers, who subsisted by blackmail, or 
ransoms paid for the liberty of such of the Scotch emigrants as they had 
carried away to their wilderness hiding places. These woodkerne were so 
numerous that they infested every settlement where Protestants had estab- 
lished themselves. They drove away their horses and cows, burned thejr 
harvests and buildings, and treated their wives and daughters with shameful 
indignity. This persecution was unrelentingly continued for years and 
many instances can be mentioned where the Catholic Irish who were per- 
mitted to remain in Ulster have harassed their Protestant neighbors during 
the century just gone. As will be found by reading the biographical notices 
in this volume many of the families of Milliken and Millikin who came to 
America abandoned lands granted to their Scottish ancestors for services 
in the army in consequence of the constant molestation of their Irish neigh- 
bors. 

Note — At the time of the plantation of Ulster the Commissioners who had charge of 
the movement were careful to make such arrangements that families of kinsman and old 
neighbors born in Scotland might live together, and in the allotment of land we learn that 
in the county of .Armagh the barony of Fewes fell to the Scotch. In Tyrone the two 
baronies of Mountjoy and Strabane fell to the Scotch. In county Donegal the baronies 
of Portlough and Koylagh fell to the Scotch. In county Kermanaugh the baronies Knock- 
ninnie and Magheraboy fell to the Scotch.

They raised a conspiracy in 1640 which aimed at the complete exter- 
mination of the Protestants in Ireland ; and were so far successful that 
for/y t/ioiisa/i(l were, suddenly massacred in different sections of the country. 
A contemporary writing of what had transpired, said : " No condition, no 
age, no sex was spared ; and death was the slightest infliction by the rebels. 
All the tortures which wanton cruelty could devise, all the lingering pains 
of body, the anguish of mind, and the agonies of despair could not satiate 
the revenge of the Irish. At length Cromwell avenged the blood of the 
slaughtered saints and crushed the insurrection. 

After the Restoration in the year 1660, James, a brother of King Charles, 
was appointed Viceroy of Scotland, and being a bigoted Catholic, the 
Presbyterians were the objects of his hatred and persecution. An early 
writer has said : " He let loose upon them the dogs of war and drove hun- 
dreds of them into exile. Large numbers escaped through Ireland and 
joined the remnant of their brethren who had preceded them." Still there 
was no peace or safety for these Protestants so long as the laws and 
inhabitants around them were hostile to the principles which they held so 
sacred. 

Such constancy, steadfastness, and perseverance, as was exhibited by 
these Scotch-Irish people in the endeavor to maintain a footing upon the 
soil of their adopted country, has seldom, if ever been witnessed, but their 
sufferings and sacrifices did not avail. They held the troops in check while 
they defended the last stronghold of William of Orange in Ireland. At 
Londonderry and at Boyne-water, in the Logan Forces and at Enniskillen, 
they poured out their blood most freely, and suffered every hardship for 
their faith and the protection of their homes, only to meet disappointment 
under the bloody policy of their enemies. One writing in 1727, says: 
"Londonderry was besieged nearly half a year (1689) by the army of 
King James, when he had all Ireland subdued but Derry and a little place 
hard by. The besieged Presbyterians defended themselves, till they were 
so pinched with hunger that a dog's head was sold cheap enough at half a 
crown ; and yet God sustained them until King William sent them relief by 
two ships with men and provisions from England, at which sight, before 
the ships had reached the city and landed their men, the besiegers moved 
their camp and fled to the west of Ireland, where, after two hard fought 
battles the Papists were subdued." 

To the plantation of Ulster may be traced the awful scenes and events 
of the ten years civil war commencing in 1641, the horrors of the revolu- 
tionary struggle in 1690, and the reawakening of those horrors in 1798 — not 
to mention many less notable phases of the contest during the intervals 
between these disastrous eras. 

When every hope of enjoying religious liberty and the unmolested pos- 
session of their homes had perished, these devoted Christian heroes turned 
their faces toward the American Colonies where they might find an asylum 
for the peaceful worship of God. They left their homes and kindred and 
the lands granted to their fathers for services in the army, to brave the 
dangers of the ocean during a long and stormy voyage, and the wilderness 
of a foreign land in search of a spot where they could act according to the 
dictates of conscience and secure a living for their families. 



COMPENDIUM OF FAMILY JIIiiTOKY. 



I'Vom 1680 the Protestants commenced to sell or forsake their lands and 
take ship for America, and as their oppressions became more intolerable the 
ratio of emigration increased until thousands of Scotch-Irisii families were 
scattered from Pennsylvania and Maryland to Virginia and the Carolinas. 
As soon as these emigrants had landed and found places of settlement they 
forwarded letters to their kindred in which were described in such glowing 
colors the American lands, forests, rivers and lakes, that in the early part 
of the nineteenth century several shiploads of the Presbyterian population 
of Ulster were brought over to our shores. Among these emigrants were 
many families named Milliken of whom some sat down in New England, 
and others entering the Delaware, settled in Pennsylvania. They did not 
all come to America, however ; many still clinging to their lands and homes 
remained in Ireland and became the progenitors of those sturdy families of 
Milliken and Milligan who now inhabit the green hills and broad farms of 
Antrim, Armagh, Down and Londonderry. 

Modern Ulster Homes. More entrancing rural scenery than exists in 
Ulster could scarcely be found in the British Isles. The broad undulating 
farms are bordered by neat walls or green hedges, and dotted with noble 
trees. The brilliant green of the hillsides is relieved and beautified by acres 
of flax "in the bloe," and to give a pleasing variety to the landscape, the 
moorlands are adorned with purple heather and golden broom. Extensive 
bleach-lields covered with long webs of snow white linen atld novelty and 
attractiveness to the rural scene. Here and there as the traveler passes 
along, his thoughts will be diverted from the predominating agricultural 
scene to the days of antiquity by the crumbling ivy-grown ruins of some old 
castle that rises to view beside his way. 

In visiting the well cultivated farms in Ulster he will lind the same ar- 
rangement of modern building as prevail across the channel in the Scottish 
Lowlands. The low-browed, white-walled cottages fiecking the hills and fac- 
ing outward, forms one side of a quadrangular enclosure or small courtyard, 
while the byres, (barns) cart-houses, tool-sheds and broad arched gateway 
for entrance will form the other sides. A row of neatly thatched straw- 
stacks, resembling giant bee-skelps, will stand beside the sheltering wall 
without. Within this hollow square a wide-spreading tree affords abundant 
shade over the pavement of whinstones. Here may be found the farmer's 
wife, daughters and dairy-maids with bare feet and high-tucked skirts, rosy 
cheeked, robust and merry-hearted, attending to their daily culinary duties. 
Here stands the high-posted wooden pump, and stone seats covered with 
shining dairy tins. If the visitor should enter the farmer's house he will 
find the same arrangements, practically, that meets his gaze in the standard 
Scottish farmer's dwelling. In the kitchen the peat hre will be burning in 
the open grate, with the iron oven at one side. A long shelf above the 
dresser and the doors extending the entire length of the room will be decked 
out with divers sizes of polished metal tea urns, and a variety of large, fig- 
ured bowls. The two principal rooms below stairs are still called the 
"Butt" and "Ben." In the ben-end he will find some plain, substantial fur- 
niture, the round table well supplied with books, a few pictures will adorn 
the walls, some ornaments will be displayed on mantle and brackets, and 
dimity curtains will be draped at the winflows. Everything will be a re- 
minder of thrift, frugality, simplicity and comfort. 



COMI'ENDIUM OF FAMILY HISTORY. 



The domestic scene at evening-time will be typical of the "Cotters Sat- 
urday Night" as described by Robert Burns. The Ulsterman has come 
home from his fields, or the flocks on the hills, and reads his paper at the 
fireside, his shepherd dog lying at his feet. The venerable grandmother, 
seated upon the high-back resting-chair, her stooping shoulders caped, and 
her head enveloped in a frilled white mutch, (cap) gazes demurely upon the 
glowing embers within the grate. The gude wife and her contingent of 
robust daughters and maids are busy with "mickle-wheel" and reels dres- 
sing the lint, while they jest and laugh and sing Scotch songs. The closing 
evening scenes will be the reading of a Psalm, and family devotions ; then 
the "guide nichts," and all are away to bed. 

"Compared with this, how poor Religious pride, 

In all the pomp of method and of art, 
When men display to congregations wide, 

Devotion's ev'ry grace, except the heart." 

The Millikens and Milligans now living in Ireland are principally thrifty 
farmers ; some, however, having removed into the cities and large towns, 
have become merchants and craftsmen. They are all Protestants, and in 
spirit, faith, and character are worthy representatives of their Covenanting 
ancestors who suffered for the truth among Scotland's moors and mountains. 
They are a conservative. God-fearing, church-going people ; they appreciate 
the advantages of education and in a quiet, unostentatious way are iden- 
tified with all the local movements calculated to enlighten and morally im- 
prove the condition of the population. 

The observing traveler will mark the close resemblance between the 
people he meets and those living in the Border shires of Scotland. They 
may be more rawboned, more brawny and of greater stature, but in com- 
plexion, features, and mental character they will be the same. If he engages 
these Ulstermen in conversation he will hear the same broad dialect spoken 
in the "Land of Burns." Here the same martyr faith prevails; here will 
be found the same services in the sanctuary ; the same old gospel and the 
same psalms and hymns. 

The traditions relating to a common ancestry have been told at a hun- 
dred firesides on both sides of the sea. Aged men who were born in the 
Border shires of Scotland have related them to their grandchildren at the 
"ingle-newk" of many a home on the Ulster hillsides ; venerable sires who 
heard the stories from the lips of grandparents in Ireland, repeated them to 
their grandchildren in the pioneer cabins of Pennsylvania and Ohio, in 
Maryland and the Carolinas ; while they, in turn, passed them down to 
their posterity. 

Old men now living in Antrim and Londonderry, have informed the au- 
thor of visits made by relatives bearing the Milliken name from distant 
parts of Ireland to the homes of their grandparents when they were chil- 
dren ; and they have a distinct recollection of the stories to which they 
listened when sitting around the peat fires, concerning the sufferings of 
their Scottish forefathers on the moors and mountains with Cameron, and 
how they fought at Drumclog and Bothwell Bridge, at the Boyne, Ennis- 
killin, and Londonderry. Ironi the Ijps of two j^ersons a t^aidition can be

transmitted through seven generations over a period of two hundred years. 
'I'o ilhistrate : 

1. RoHiiRT Mn.i,iK.EN, a shephcrd-farnier in the shire of Galloway, Scotland, 
was a zealous Covenanter who escaped with his family to Ireland, in the 
year 1680. He was born in 1650, and died in Londonderry in the year 
1 740, aged 90. 

2. Jamks Milliken, son of the preceding, born in the year 1670, was ten 
years of age when he went with his parents to Ulster, Ireland, in 1680, and 
lived contemporary with his father 70 years, dying in 1750, aged So. 

3. Roi'.KRT Milliken, son of the preceding, born in Londonderry, Ireland, 
in 1695, lived contemporary with his father 54 years, and with his grand- 
father 45 years, dying in 1791, aged 96 years. 

4. William Milliken, son of the preceding, born in Londonderry, Ireland, 
in the year 1720, died in 1794, aged 74. He lived contemporary with his 
father 71 years, and with his grandfather 30 years. 

5. RoiiERT Milliken, son of the preceding, born in Londonderry, Ireland, 
in the year 1750, died in 1S30, aged 80. He lived contemporary with his 
grandfather 41 vears, with his father 44 years. 

6. Samuel Milliken, son of the preceding, born in Colerain, Ireland, i8io, 
was living in 1895 in full possession of his mental faculties, and related 
what his father had received from the lips of his grandfather relating to the 
experiences of his grandfather who was the exiled Covenanter hrst in IHster. 

This is an exceptional case of longevity in the lineal descent of a family, 
but the Millikens are in the habit of living a century without complaining.* 

Samuel Milliken, hale and hearty at the age of 85, had a concise recol- 
lection of his father's description of his grandfather, the third Robert Mil- 
liken. He said : "My grandfather lived with my father when an aged man 
and was a person of peculiar and unalterable habits. He was small of stat- 
ure, a weaver of the hand-loom by occupation, and very stooping. He wore 
always, indoors and out-of-doors, a blue, knitted Killmamock bonnet. His 
hair, heavy and snow-white, fell in curling masses about his neck ; his 
diet in old age consisted of potatoes, which he insisted upon roasting in the 
embers, and oatmeal porridge. When not employed at his loom he spent 
much of his time in reading the lives of the Covenanters, and was never 
weary of his description of his grandfather and the recitations to which he 
had listened in his boyhood from his lips relating to his adventures on the 
moors and mountains of Galloway when hunted by Claverhouse. Two of 
his brothers were at Rothwell Bridge and amongst the prisoners in the 
Greyfriers churchyard. His father, when an aged man, had made a long 
journey on foot to sign a copy of the Covenant, and died soon afterwards 
from the fatigue of his exertion. He, himself, had escaped to Ireland by a 
small boat in the night-time, and had returned to Scotland but once to visit 
his kindred in Galloway. He (the first Robert) was at the battle of the 
Boyne and suffered at the siege of Londonderry. He was well known and 
held in high esteem, and when he died the local militia turned out and gave 
him a soldier's burial. His body was carried to his grave on 'chairpoles' 
by his four sons. 



*The author has record of four Centenarians in the family. 



COMPENDIUM OF FAMILY UlSfOHV. 



I also have a vivid recollection of my venerable grandmother as she sat 
on the resting-chair beside the peat fire spinning the lint (flax) and croon- 
ing some old tune. She was of robust figure and florid face, but she wore a 
great Scotch mutch (cap) that almost hid her features. She was a woman 
of deep and unostentatious piety. She would always sit demurely with her 
hand shading her eyes when my father opened the Bible to read for the even- 
ing worship, and in a subdued voice repeated the Lord's Prayer while the 
family joined in their devotions. She died full of years, sincerely lamented 
by many." 

American Families. The earliest families of this name known to have 
settled in the American Colonies came to Maryland in the train of Lord 
Baltimore. Patrick Mullikin and James Mullikin, probably brothers, were 
in the Province as early as 1650, and took up land in Dorchester county 
alongside of each other. They also had grants of land in Calvert county, 
but finally sat down on plantations in Anna Arundel and Talbot counties 
where their descendents have since resided. It has not been ascertained 
whether these Mullikins came from Scotland or the Province of Ulster in 
the North of Ireland. A family tradition, however, makes them come from 
the northern shires of Scotland bringing their servants and household gear 
with them. Their land grants from Lord Baltimore were extensive and 
increased rapidly in value as the country was settled. Broad plantations 
were laid out, many slaves purchased and enormous crops produced. In 
process of time stately and capacious mansions were erected which were 
occupied by large families for several generations. They were well allied 
with many of the most respectable and aristocratic families in Maryland, 
and their income enabled them to live in comfort and the enjoyment of 
such luxuries as were obtainable by families of wealth at that period. For 
full particulars see the genealogy in the body of this book. 

The next families in order of time to appear in the colonies came from 
Scotland to Boston as early as 1680. These certainly held a good social 
position among their contemporaries and their names in the early records 
of the town are found in good company. They were communicants, or at- 
tendants, at the Brattle street church, which was the sanctuary where such 
distinguished citizens as Paul Revere worshipped. They were members of 
the Scott's Charitable Society and of the St. Andrews Lodge of Free Ma- 
sons to which Paul Revere belonged. Thomas Milliken was treasurer of 
this lodge and, as did others of the family, served on important committees. 
These fraternal bodies were composed largely, as their titles implies, of 
Scotchmen and persons of Scotch descent, and their membership were highly 
respectable, intelligent, and well allied by marriage. These Millikens held 
the tradition of a superior ancestry and endeavored to transmit to their pos- 
terity, by precept and example, unimpaired, the prestige of their fathers. 
Those who removed to Dunstan were men of intelligence and probity ; they 
were law-abiding, patriotic and religious, and held important official posi- 
tions, civil and judicial. Edward Milliken was a magistrate of high stand- 
ing and was widely known as "Justice Milliken." Deacon Nathaniel, his 
brother, was long the honored official of the first Orthodox church of Scar- 
borough. The brother Samuel was an earnest patriot, was at the siege of 
Louisburg under Pepperill, and died while singing a hymn of praise to God. 



COMPENDIUM Of hAMlLY IIISTOKY. 



A majority of the Millikens, Milligans, and Mullikins have been serious, 
sedate, grave, considerate and conservative. 'I'hey were moderate, cautious 
and deliberate, making no haste to form an opinion or ch)se a bargain, l)ut 
everlastingly determined and uncompromising when their "minds were 
made up." From their Coventing forefathers they have been morally and 
religiously inclined, and wherever they established homes were ardent sup 
porters of the church. As Protestants they fought from principle in Ireland 
and to enjoy the privilege of untrammelled worship they escaped from their 
oppressors to the American Colonies where great care was bestowed upon 
the moral and religious education of their children ; and to these inestimable 
influences must be attributed the almost universal excellence of character 
maintained by persons who bear the family name. In England, Scotland, 
and Ireland, not less than twenty clergymen have been produced by the 
branches of this family, and rising Hfty in the American branches. As de- 
scendents of martyr heroes they have possessed the martyr's faith and zeal, 
and gave eminent and devoted service to the cause they represented. .As 
preachers they were bold advocates of righteousness, and fearlessly opposed 
what was wrong. 

Military Record. Since the days of their chivalrous Saxon-Norman 
ancestors and the Scottish and Scotch-Irish forefathers, the loyalty, patri- 
otism and courage of the members of this family have been unquestioned. 
They fought with William the Conquerer at the battle of Hastings, and with 
Richard Cameron at Airdmoss ; they were in the army at the P>oyne and 
Enneskillen ; suffered at the siege of Londonderry, Ireland, and bore arms 
in every war since the settlement of the American Colonies. The Pension 
Records at Washington show the names of twelve rrten from this family who 
served during the Revolution, and six of them were of the family in Scar- 
borough, Maine. Many others were engaged in the struggle for American 
Independence who did not survive to apply for a pension. The names of 
sixteen others stand on the Pension List who fought in the war of 1S12, 
and some received wounds in battle from which they suffered the remainder 
of their lives. During the war with Mexico, several Millikens served under 
Gen. Winfield Scott. This family was represented by more men in the 
Union and Confederate armies during the Civil war than any other in the 
country, more than orie hundred soldiers bearing the name, having borne 
arms in that fratricidal struggle. 

The stream of Millingas blood, taking its rise in a Saxon fountainhead 
more than a thousand years ago, has flowed downward by the physical law 
of gravity through forty generations and has lost none of its momentum or 
fertility; and its rich, red, rushing current, circulating in their veins has 
imparted to the family the coolness and solidity of the Saxon ; the maritime 
spirit and adventure of the Scandinavian ; the imagination and sense of en- 
joyment of the Norman ; the emotion and poetic feeling of the Celt ; the 
moderation and conservatism of the Englishman ; the seriousness and re- 
flection of the Scotchman ; the haughty independence of the lUsterman, 
and the energy and enterprise of the typical American. This vital current 
has furnished to numerous families collaterally connected tributaries that 
have invested them with marked temperamental traits of character. With 
but few exceptions the members of this family have stood upon the right

side of all important national and moral questions, and were never afraid 
to identify themselves with any movement that involved the public welfare. 
They were loyal advocates of Christianity and education, and liberal sup- 
porters of the church and public schools. They did not stand in the way 
of the evolutionary wheels of progress, but always put the trig on the right 
side. ]}eing diligent readers and profound thinkers, the rank and file of 
the family were well informed and equipped for filling their stations as citi- 
zens of our grand Republic. When once enlisted in any reform movement, 
whether of a civil, moral, temperance, or religious character, they devoted 
themselves to its progress with determined and unfaltering loyalty until 
they achieved success or died in the conflict.

In writing a history of the nunicrous family in Maine known us "The Scarboroiigli 
Millikens," there are good reasons for comprising in an introductory chapter an account 
of the Alger families at Dunstan from whom they are descended maternally, and from 
whom they inherit their estates; indeed the relationship was such that the early history 
of the two families is intlivisible. 

The earliest known mention of the Algers in New Kngland is the sig- 
nature of Thomas Alger to the delivery of the Trelawney grant to John 
Winter of Richmond's Island, July 21, 1632. The name of Andrew Alger 
appears as a witness to a signature at the same place Aug. 26, 1635. Arthur 
Alger, a brother of Andrew, was there at the same time, and by the records 
of John Winter it appears that Tristram Alger was at Richmond's Island 
early; for in his (Winter's) letter to Robert Trelawney of date July 10, 
1637, he says: "Tristram Alger would pray you to pay unto his wife the 
money that is due unto him at this time. He is a quiet man." We know 
that this member of the Alger family was from Newton Ferrers, county oi 
Devon, England, and he seems to have returned to his home. 

In a deposition found in the records of York county, Maine, there is 
reference to the fact that Arthur and Andrew Alger came from a village in 
Kngland named Dunstan. In 1638, Andrew and Arthur Alger were living 
on Stratton's Island, and employed a number of fishermen. 

On the early records appear the names of two, possibly three, persons who 
were probably related to the brothers, Arthur and Andrew Alger. They 
were Tristram Alger who settled in Scarborough between 1640 and 1650; 
Arthur Alger Jr., one of the inhabitants of Scarborough who acknowledged 
allegiance to Massachusetts in 1658; and Andrew Alger who lived at Cape 
Porpoise in 1674, and in 1690 removed with his wife to Newbury, Mass., and 
was reputed ancestor of the family of this name in Connecticut. 

Andrew Alger was living in Saco as early as 1640, and was styled "Sur- 
veyor." In 1 641, he and his brother Arthur purchased of the Indians a 
tract of land w^ithin the limits of the town of Scarborough containing one 
thousand acres, and terms of this transaction are found in the following 
declaration : 

"19th of September, 1659, The declaration of Jane the Indian of Scar- 
borough concerning lands. This aforesayd Jane, alias Uphannum, doth 
declare that her mother, namely Nagasqua the wife of Wackwaarawaskee, 
Sagamore, and her brother namely Ugagoguskitt, and herself, namely LTp- 
hannum, coequally hath sould unto Andrew Alger, and to his brother Arthur 
Alger, a Tract of Land beginning att the mouth of ye River called blew 
Poynt River, where the River doth part, and so bounded up along with the 
River called Owasseoage in Indian, and soe up three scoore poole above 
the falls, on the one side ; and on the other side bounded up along with the 
norther-most River that Dreaneth by the great hill Abram Jocelyn's and 
goeth northward, bounding from the head of ye River South West, and soe 
to the aforesyd bounds, namely three score poole above the Falls. This

aforesaid Uphaimuin doth declare that her mother and brother and she hath 
already in her hand received full satisfaction of the aforesayd Algers for 
the aforesyd Lands from the beginning of the world to this day, provided 
on condition that for tyme to come from yeare to yeare yearly the aforesaid 
Algers shall peacably suffer Uphannum to plant in Andrew Alger's field seo 
long as Uphan : and her mother Nagasqua doe both live, and alsoe one 
bushel of corn for acknowledgment every year soe long as they both shall 
live. Uphan : doth declare that ye bargan was made in the year 1651 into 
which Shee doth subscribe the mark Uphannum X." 

In 1674, the "Indian Jane" made a second acknowledgment of this sale 
which is recorded as follows : 

"Note yt this sayle of ye Land Recorded in pa: 114: within expressed, 
sould to Andrew Alger by those Indians, who sould to ye sd Algers them 
yr heyers, executors, administrators and assigns forever, as is owned by 
Uphan: alias Jane, this 27 : of May 1674: in presence of William Phillips. 

Seth Fletcher." 

The brothers Andrew and Arthur had built them cabins and with their 
families were settled on their lands. They had faithfully complied with the 
terms of their agreement and with their married children settled around 
them had lived in peace with their Indian neighbors. On the salt marshes 
they could cut hay for their cattle in winter and found abundant pasturage 
for them in summer. They had a house at the " Neck " which was their 
rendezvous during the fishing season and the denizens of the deep furnished 
delicious food for their tables. The fish oil supplied their lamps and to- 
gether with the products of their cultivated lands, the dairy, the abundance 
of wild game and a variety of wild berries that grew on the new soil, sup- 
plied their temporal needs. 

But notwithstanding the acknowledgment by the Indians that they had 
received full satisfaction of the Algers for the land sold "from the beginning 
of the world ;" although the Algiers had permitted Uphannum to plant in 
Andrew's field for more than twenty years and the " bushel of corn " had 
been bestowed annually to cement the bonds of friendship, yet the Algers 
saw that an Indian war with all its horrors was about to burst upon the 
settlement. 

Early in the autumn of 1675 they were warned to assemble at Sheldon's 
Garrison at Black Point. They were guarded by soldiers who assisted in 
removing their goods. Again on Oct. 12, 1675, Andrew and Arthur, ac- 
companied by relatives, went back to their cabin to remove some of their 
property that remained, and were attacked by Indians. We may never 
know the particulars concerning the experiences of that fatal day, but there 
are some rays of light thrown upon the scene by the depositions found. It 
was the family tradition that the Algers were shot when exposed on their 
return to the Garrison. Southgate, in his history of Scarborough says : 
" They were in their cabins at the time of the attack." Peter Witham (aged 
72) in his deposition said: "About 52 or 3 years ago, then being in my 
country's service under Capt. John Wincol, and being posted with other sol- 
diers at Blue Point, at Mr. Poxwells Garrison, I went up to Dunstan to guard 
Andrew and .Vrthur Alger, and we assisted them to carry olT their grain. 
Some days after which the said Andrew and Arthur, with some of their re-

lation, went from Shclton's Garrison to Dunstan tobrinK oil >()ine of their j^uods, 
and were beset by tlie Indians and said Andrew was killed and said Arthur was 
mortally wounded." 

Joanna Puncheon in her dei)osition, said: "One Robert Nichols who lived 
on their land (Algers) was killed with his wife in the be.ninnin"^ of the Indian war 
in wheal harvest, and some weeks after, Andrew and Arthur Alger were killed 
in Indian han'csl." 

iVndrew Alger was shot dead and his brother Arthur was mortally wounded. 
The latter was conveyed to Marblehead, Mass., and died at the hou.sc of W illiam 
Sheldon there on the 14th of the same month. Robert I-Jiiott in his deposition 
"witnesseth that about ye 14th day of Oct. 1675, Arthur Alger at William Shel- 
don's house in perfect sense and memory desired me and the rest standing by 
to take notice yt he did give all his goods moveable and immoveable to his wife 
Ann." Christopher Pickett, aged 60, and John Cooke, testified to the word of 
Robert Elliott. Then follows ''An Inventory of the estate of Arthur Alger of 
Black Point wounded by the Indians and dying of his wounds Oct. 14, 1675, at 
Marblehead." This Inventory was made by Giles Barry and Ralph Allison of 
Black Point, Jan. 4, 1676. The amount was ;^io8, 3, 6. 



Arthur Alger was constable of Scarborough in 1658, and grand -juryman in 1661 ; 
and in 1671 and 1672, a representative to the General Court at Boston. His 
wife was Ann Roberts, a daughter of Giles Roberts, a very early inhabitant 
of Scarborough, who survived him. He was childless and brought up three 
sons of Giles Roberts Jr., his brother-in-law, and in his will left them ;^5, 10, 
apiece. In an extract from the Book of Eastern Claims, we find as follows: 
" Ann Walker, formerly relict of Arthur Alger, claims a tract of land which was 
conveyed by his last will and testament dated 1675, to his wife Ann Alger." 
Her second husband was Samuel Walker of Boston. 

Andrew Alger settled on his lands at Dunstan, removing from Saco, in 1654. 
He was constable and selectman, and in 1668 was commissioned lieutenant. 
He made his will in Scarborough, Mar. 23, 1669, in which he was styled "Fish- 
erman." Mentions wife Agnes as executrix; sons John, Andrew, and Mat- 
thew, and daughters Elizabeth, and Joanna. Appointed his brother Arthur 
Alger and friend Andrew Brown, overseers. The witnesses were Seth Fletcher 
and Rpger Hill. Will allowed June 30, 1676. Inventory amounted to ;^78. 
16, 10. There were not less than six children, named as follows: 

I. John Alger (1), son of Andrew (1), m. Mary Wilmot, daughter of Nicholas 

Wilmot who was an innholder in Boston. He had issue two children as follows: 

j Elizabeth Alger, b. 1669, and was baptized at the First Church in 

Charlestown, Mass., in 1687; she was then living with Nathaniel Adams, 

her uncle. She was married to John Milliken of Boston, and, on her 

father's death, coming into possession of a large share of the Alger estate 

at Dunstan, they removed to that plantation in 17 19. She was the only 

person living at Dunstan before the first Indian war who ever returned. 

See Milliken history for more particulars. 

II. John Alger, b. 16 — , was lost in the expedition against Canada in 1690. 

He mav have had some premonition of his fate as he made his will, — 

recorded in 17 16 in the Middlesex Registry of Deeds — before leaving 

home. This instrument reads as follows:

2. Andrew Alger (2), son of Andrew^ (1), was killed by the Indians Sept. 21, 
1689, at Falmouth, while lighting under Col. Church. His wife's name does not 
appear, nor do we know his place of residence. He had one child, 

I. Dorcas Alger, who was the wife of Matthew Collins, to whom m. 
Oct. 24, 1706, and had: Mo/ZAew, b. Sept. 8, 1707; /o^/a/j, b. Oct. 9, 1711; 
Dorcas, b. May 20, 17 13. 

3. Matthew Alger (1), third son of Andrew^ (1), married Martha Carver, 
widow of Robert Carver, of Boston. He was master of a transport in the expe- 
dition against Canada in 1690, in which he contracted a ship fever, and died soon 
after his return. The deposition of John Boden of date 1730, says: "The said 
Matthew Alger went master of a vessel, as Transport to ye fleet under ye com- 
mand of Sir Wm. Phipps K. T. to Canaday, and was visited with a fleet fever, 
or sickness, whereof he died soon after his return, who was the last surviving 
male of the aforesaid Algers." He had two daughters, named as follows: 

I. Mary Alger, b. Jan. 9, 1680, in Boston, Mass. 
II. Hannah Alger, b. May 22, 1686, in Boston, Mass. 

4. Elizabeth Alger (2), eldest daughter of Andrew^ (1), was the wife of John 
Palmer. They resided at Dunstan previous to the Indian troubles. Palmer 
had purchased 50 acres of land of the Algers July 15, 1662, and the line then 
established may still be traced. In 1680 they removed to Boston, where he spent 
the remainder of his days. Forty-two years after the death of her father, Eliza- 
beth Palmer sold to John Milliken Jr., all that tract of land beginning where the 
river doth part — "and every other the land of my late husband lying in the 
County of York." She had two children named as follows: 

I. Abigail Palmer, b. Feb. 6, 1685, in Boston, Mass. 
II. Arimnel Palmer, b. Mar. 4, 1687, in Boston, Mass. 

5. Joanna Alger (1), second daughter of Andrew^ (1), was twice married. First 
to Elias Oakman of Boston. They resided "on the branch of the river that 
leads up to the falls, and scpperates Dunstan from Blue Poynt." Her second 
husband was John Mills of Boston. Fifty-two years after the death of her 
father she gave deed to John Milliken Jr., and Samuel Milliken, as follows: "I

Having traced the history and genealogy of the Alger family until il became 
linked to that of the Millikens, we shall now proceed to follow the movements of 
the heirs to the estate, and present some detached references to the lands before, 
and subser|ucnt to, their possession by the Millikens. 

Willis assumed that the Algers came from Dunster, in Somersetshire, while 
Arthur M. Alger Esq., of Boston, believed they were from Dunstan, in the countv 
of Norfolk, as families of this name had long dwelt there. At any rate, they 
named their lands in Scarborough. Dunst.a.n, and in all prol)ability for their 
English home. 

About the year 1760 there was a fire at Dunstan which burned the sawmills. 
As the present site of Dunstan is nearly a mile from any water-power, this state- 
ment seems inconsistent, but when we know that the most busy place on the Alger 
lands was at the sawmill built by Watts about 1635, and in active operation for 
more than a .century save when interrupted by Indian wars, we shall see that 
Dunstan of an early day, when the Algers applied this name, was near the well- 
known Seavey's bridge. About that place on the western side of the stream 
and on cither side of the road, there are old apple trees and cellars which remain 
to mark the localities of the early settlers' homesteads. Here is the cellar of the 
house where Rufus King was born, and near at hand the spring that supplied the 
family with water. Rambling along from this place toward Dunstan Landing, one 
may find other evidences of early habitations. Near a bend in the river was the 
"Ryefield," so-called, where one of the earhest settlers of Dunstan lived. Fur- 
ther on was Dunstan Landing, from which sailed more shipping before the Revo- 
lution than from Portland or Falmouth. Jacob Millikcn, the centenarian, de- 
clared on his one hundredth birthday, that he had seen lumber piled on both 

* There was e\-idently one or more links of relationship between the Algers and the Edge- 
comb family in Scarborough. The wife of Nicholas Edgecomb was a W'Umot and probably 
of the same family as Mary, daughter of Nicholas Wilmot, the Boston innholder, who was the 
wife of John Alger. Then we find Mar\' Edgecomb the second wife of John Ashton who 
removed to Marbtehead, Mass., at the lime of the Indian war. She had been married to 
George Page of Biddeford, in 1664. Was her second husband identical with the John Ashton 
who married Agnes .Alger? It will be seen that the .Algers removed to Marblchead also. Nich- 
olas and Mary Wilmot of Bo.ston had issue: Mary, b. May 5, 1650; Abit^ail, b. Oct. 2, 1655; 
Elizabeth, b. Sept. 26, 1657, and Hannah, b. Feb. 10, 1659.

sides of the road leading from Dunstan Corner to the Landing, one half mile, 
awaiting shipment. 

On the Southgate farm are the rapids known in the early days as "Alger's 
Falls," and below them the Algers resided. Whether they attempted to build a 
mill there is uncertain, but Col. Westbrook used this water-power after the Indian 
wars. Further up the stream, near the King burying ground, there are small 
falls where Benjamin Blackman had a mill as early as 1680. The remains of an 
old dam, and an ancient cellar, mark the spot where the pioneers sat down. Some 
distance north from this last mentioned locality are cellars excavated very early 
in the settlement of Dunstan, but by whom we do not know. Easterly, along 
the line of an old fence and in the thick woods, there are apple trees and other 
evidences of human habitations. These were on the improved highway cutting 
oflf several miles from the old Sylvanus Scott route which had long been the 
only way leading around the head of the marshes eastward. 

The stream that formed the southern boundary of Dunstan in the Algers time, 
was early known as Foxwell's brook, and on this a sawmill was Ijuilt at a very 
early day. The existence of this adjunct of a pioneer settlement might have 
been doubted had not the proprietor. Watts, been presented for carrying "bards" 
on the Sabbath. This evidence is made stronger by a clause in Rigby's deed 
to Watts of date 1648, viz: — "one hundred acres adjoining his house which he 
hath occupied for 15 years past to be distinguished by the meets and bounds 
herein expressed and from the 'water Lakes' and edge of the bank to the north- 
ward of the house into the field that is between Richard Foxwells & Watts." Also 
by a deed from Watts to Ralph Allison dated loth Apr. 1673, in which he conveyed 
one half of the mill, and when Watts died said Allison was to possess the whole. 

This mill was situated where the present road to W'est Scarborough crosses 
that stream. Here were natural advantages for a mill. There was a ledge on 
one side and a projecting point of upland reaching nearly to it on the opposite 
side; thus making it an inexpensive task to fill the chasm with a dam. The mill- 
pond would extend far back into the timber lands and afford a convenient water- 
way for conveying logs to the mill. Below, the tide water made transportation 
seaward easy. Watts described his mill as being situated in the village we 
call Cothell. 

The following relating to the settlement of a dispute concerning the northern 
and northwestern boundary of Dunstan, speaks for itself: 

" The Deposition of Jeremiah Moulton testifyeth and saith that about the year 
1719 by ye request of Mr. John Milliken Jun., I went with him to renew his 
bounds at a place called Dunstan, in Scarborough, by virtue of an Indian deed, 
and accordingly we began sixty rods above the falls, Mr. Nathan Knight being 
our Pilot, and one of the chainmen, and from thence we went N. E. and said 
line came near a bridge called Phillip's bridge and we came to the river that 
goeth near Joslins Hill, where it was pretty wide; it not being at the head of said 
river. The next day after we had done, old Mr. Milliken came home from the 
westward and inquired what we had done. I accordingly told him; he made 
answer and said, we had not done right, for we should have gone sixty rods 
above the upper falls, and would have me run it over again, but my business 
called me home, and I could not go again, and further saith that there was no- 
body lived there then but Mr. Milliken, and Col. Westbrook with his people a 
masting. Sworn by the deponent in Superior Court at York, May ye 14th, 
1 73 1." Old Mr. MiUiken was correct. 



THE ALGER EAMII.Y IX DUNS'EAN. 13 

The deed from the Alters to Jolin Palmer of date July 15, 1662, is sij^nificant 
in fixing upon the location of the Alger homesteads. In all the jjlans of iJunstan 
this lot has been clearly marked out, and in fact its original lines are the bounds 
of lots in Dunstan to-day. The late Horatio Height, who had given the sub- 
ject much study, says: "And here we are comi)elled to dilTer from Southgate 
with regard to the dwelling-place of the Algers. Joanna Puncheon in her depo- 
sition, says: * Arthur dwelled on the northermost side of a stream and Andrew on 
the southermost side. Next to Andrew lay the land of his son John and next to 
John lay the land belonging to John Palmer.' Any one who consults the plan of 
the 'Palmer Lot,' so-called, may see that the place where Southgate locates the 
Algers is near the middle of said lot, and it is not reasonable to suppose that 
they sold the very land on which they had established their homes. Ancl because 
of what Joanna Puncheon testified concerning the location of Arthur Alger's 
house, and because the old house creek that was their highway runs close to the 
upland above the Turnpike; because of relics that have been found there, because 
it was in sight of the Garrison on the 'neck,' and because of the evidences of other 
foundations in the vicinity, we may conclude that Southgate was in error and 
Joanna Puncheon correct." 

On coming from Boston to Dunstan after so long a time had elapsed, the heirs 
of the Algers found several persons in possession of parcels of the estate, and to 
agree with them, or to eject them, was the first important business to attend to. 
The disputes that arose resulted in litigation which brought to the court records 
the depositions from which much of this sketch has been compiled. Notwith- 
standing the able counsel employed, and money expended, in an attempt to de- 
stroy the validity of their claim, the heirs were as secure with their old Indian 
"declaration" as they would have been with a charter bearing the royal seal. 

John Bodex in his deposition, says: "When at Dunstan in 1729, I noticed 
where the said Algers and their children's habitations were, and cornfields and 
pastures, and the land was grown up to large trees and looked hke a wilderness." 
He also says the Algers were persons of note and of good character. 

The occupants of the mill on Blackman's Falls, on the return of the heirs 
of Dunstan, stoutly contested their right to this mill privilege but were not success- 
ful. Elliott \'aughan laid claim to part of Dunstan in 1733, but was defeated 
in litigation. The Alger heirs proved that Andrew and Arthur, under their Indian 
title, held undisputed possession of their lands until interrupted by the Indians 
in 1675, '1"*^ tl'^^t when peace was established the heirs returned to their estate.

This is the most numerous of all branches of the Milliken families in America, 
and we must presently begin their genealogy by introducing a transcript from 
the early church records of Boston. The surname was there spelled as any 
broad-spoken Scotchman or ScotchTrishman would have pronounced it, " Mul- 
liken" and "Mulligen," but we have not found a single instance where one of 
this branch of the family used that orthography; they have universally spelled 
their names "Milliken" or "Millikin." There are abundant reasons for be- 
lieving that the famihes designated "Mullikens of Bradford, Mass.," were from 
the same stock, but for some cause now unknown they adopted another form of 
spelling the name. The family tradition makes their first New England an- 
cestors come from Scotland, and in this instance the tradition is supported by 
the public records. Several members of the family were members of the Scots 
Charitable Society, a fraternal and benevolent organization founded in 1651, and 
still in existence. John Milliken was an important member of this society from 
1685 to 1 7 19, when he removed to Scarborough. Hugh Milliken, father of John, 
was a member of this association as earlv as 1681, and continued as long as he 
resided in Boston, or until his death. Thomas Milhken, a brother of John Milli- 
ken Jr., was a member of the St. Andrew's Society of Boston. This was another 
organization composed principally, if not wholly, of Scotchmen and persons of 
Scotch blood. 

Three families of Millikens appear in Boston contemporaneously. We have 
nodocumentary evidence to show what relationship, if any, existed among them; 
but there are records to prove their residence in Boston at the same time, and an 
intimate association of interest. They evidently attended upon divine service at 
the same church, and the record of their children's births and baptisms are found 
in the Brattle Street church registers. The Rev. William Cooper, pastor of the 
First Church in Boston, afterwards the Brattle Street Church, made record in his 
interleaved almanac of the baptism of two children of the first John IVIilliken 
and of admitting to full communion, "since the earthquake," of three members 
of the Milliken family. We therefore assume that they could have adopted the 
language of the Psalmist: "We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the 
house of God in company." 

While we have traced the descendants of John Milliken son of Hugh, and those 
of Robert Mulliken the reputed brother of Hugh, the posterity of Thomas and 
Elizabeth Milliken, and of Robert Milliken son of Hugh and Ellison, have not 
been found. Thomas and Elizabeth had a son Thomas born in Boston, Apr. 
27, 1692, From this date we do not find any record of that family. They may 
have disappeared from Boston. Robert Milliken, son of Hugh and EUison, b. 
Aug. 9, 1681, may have gone South, as there are traditions of such an ancestor in 
a Southern family. The following records were copied from the Brattle Street 
church registers of Boston, and from a journal written on interleaves of the pas- 
tor's almanac: 

1. Robert Mulliken, son of Robert and wife Rebecca, was b. Dec. 9, 1688, 

2. John Mulliken, son of Robert and wife Rebecca, was b. July 26, 1690.

Apr. 25, 1725, Sarah MiUiken was bai)tised. 

Apr., 1728, Nathaniel MiUiken, Abigail Millikcn, and Eliza MiUiken, ad- 
mitted to full communion since the earthquake. 



Hugh Mill liken may be properly designated the first known ancestor of the 
family called the " Algcr-Millikens," so early settled in Dunstan, now Scarbor- 
ough, Me. His name appears as a member of the Scots Charitable Society in 
Boston in 1681, and we reasonably assume that he was a Scotchman. The record 
of his wife's name is not distinctly legible, and has been written Eleanor and 
Ellison. Was not her maiden name Eleanor Allison ? It is singular that no record 
of the death of Hugh and his wife has been found. He may have removed from 
Boston. The family tradition makes Dea. Nathaniel MiUiken of Scarborough, 
author of the statement that Hugh of Boston was his grandfather, and one of the 
deacon's daughters, married to a Benjamin MiUiken, and who lived in her father's 
house, named a son Hugh, in honor of her great-grandfather. 

It has been assumed that Hugh MuUiken of Boston was a " titled gentleman, " 
from the fact that a coat-of-arms was early found in the Scarborough family and 
has been handed down as an heirloom from generation to generation by the de- 
scendants of the first kno\vn possessor. A venerable member of the family who 
was b. in 1843, informed me in 1895, that when a lad he could lie in his bed 
and see this coat-of-arms as it hung enframed upon the wall beside the picture of 
Lady Helen ^larr, who was some relation to the MiUiken family. 

Capt. Isaac T. MiUiken of San Francisco, Cal., was a master mariner in early 
life and made voyages to Scotland. Being much interested in the history of his 
family he is said to have instituted investigations there which resulted in the dis- 
co\'ery of the name of a Sir Hugh MilUken who participated in taking some 
strongly fortified castle, and was knighted, and granted a coat-of-arms in which 
were depicted three castles in commemoration of his gallant achievement. This 
may be true, but when Capt. MiUiken assumes that Hugh of Boston was identical 
with the bra\e knight he is in error. I have his written and unqualified assump- 
tion that John MiUiken who m. Elizabeth Alger was a son of Sir Hugh MiUiken, 
Kt. To others whose letters were placed at my disposal, Capt. Isaac T. MiUiken 
has written the same statement. In a letter from the Lyon-at-Arms, the highest 
authority on heraldry in Scotland, he has assured me that he knows nothing of 
this Sir Hugh MiUiken and his coat-of-arms. This should be conclusive, for if 
such had been granted to any titled Scotchman a record of the transaction would 
be found at the Lyon oftice. 

■ After a persistent search nothing more than has been stated in this connection 
has been discovered concerning Hugh and Eleanor (or Ellison) MiUiken who 
appeared in Boston. They may have died there without a record of such event 
being found at this late day. Some mousing searcher more familiar with the old 
documents may find something that will throw Hght upon their subsequent history. 

John MiUiken^ (1), reputed son of Hugh MiUiken^ (1), of Boston, was prob- 
ably b. in Scotland, as no record of such event has been found in New England. 



16 THE ALGER-MILLIKENS OF SCARBOROUGH, ME. 

He m. Elizabeth Alger, a daughter of John and Mary Wilmot Alger of Bos- 
ton, who was b. 1669 and baptized in 1687, at the first church in Charlestown, 
where she was living with her uncle, Nathaniel Adams. No record of this 
marriage has been found. They resided many years in Boston, and their children 
were b. there. In old documents he was styled "John Milhken house car- 
penter." After the death of his father-in-law, John Alger, he possessed, in his 
wife's right, an extensive land-estate at Dunstan, in Scarborough, Me., and his 
name appears there as early as 1719.* In the year 1720, he and his son of the 
same name were present at the reorganization of the town government, when he 
was chosen for one of the selectmen. He was in Boston betimes as late as 1732. 
I have the copy of an account of his with the firm of Henderson & Hewes, of 
date 1743 and 1754, in which there was a balance due them of ;^43, 4, 8 odd, Old 
Tenor, and stated as ;^5, 15,3 odd, Lawfull money. For this amount he gave his 
note for six months. As the charges w-ere for builders' hardware, he may have 
been erecting his farmhouse at Dunstan during that time. Mr. Milliken seems 
to have had broad ideas of farming, and carried on his agricultural schemes on 
a scale of considerable magnitude for the times. In a letter written by him in 
1746, he says: "I have cleared a great deal of land; have made several miles of 
fence; this year have I planted as much land as three bushels of corn would 
plant, sowed as much as seven bushels of peas would sow, and as much as thir- 
teen bushels of oats and barley would sow." John MiUiken died in 1749 and 
must have been 85 years of age. His widow died Feb. 9, 1754, aged 85 years. 
It has been assumed that only four of his sons were Hving at the time of settle- 
ment in Scarborough. After producing the family record as found in Boston, 
we shall proceed with the genealogy by dividing the pedigree into four parts, head- 
ing each with the name of one of the four sons of John Milhken who settled at 
Dunstan.

John Milliken^ (2), son of John'- (1), and Kliziibeth Alger, wash, in Boston, 
Mass., Dec. 27, 1691; was m. Jan. i, 1718, to Sarah Burnett, by whom three 
children. He m., second, Sept. 3, 1728, Rebecca Thomas, who d. in Scarbor- 
ough, Me., Apr. 25, 1760. He was a saddler by trade, and carried on his busi- 
ness in Boston for many years "at the corner going down Wentworth's Wharf." 
There is recorded in the SutTolk County registers, in Boston, a conveyance by 
John Milliken, saddler, and Elizabeth McCarty, widow, of an estate in Dedham, 
consisting of 20 acres, for the consideration of 20 pounds lawful money, of date 
Aug. 18, 1 7 18. This property came to John Milliken and Elizabeth McCarty 
by inheritance — from whom ? He li\cd in the town of Scarborough about 
forty years and d. during the Revolution, Sept. 8, 1779, aged 87 years. He 
purchased the right of his aunt, Elizabeth Palmer, to the Alger estate known in 
the Plans of Dunstan as "The Palmer Lot," May 19, 1727. Jointly with his 
brother, "Benjamin Milliken, marriner," he purchased, June 21, 1727, the right 
of his great-aunt, Jane Davis, widow of Andrew Alger Jr., and daughter of Dor- 
cas Alger Collins. The same year, in company with his brother, Samuel Milli- 
ken, he purchased the right of his great-aunt, Joanna Alger Mills, ^\'hen the 
title to the Alger estate was established, this John owned one-half of the original 
grant and the "Palmer Lot" containing fifty acres. Although owning so large 
a territorial estate in the East, he continued his residence in Boston until after 
1744, when he located near Dunstan Landing. His house stood on the westerly 
side of the road, and the cellar was tilled up by Mr. Noah Pillsbury, who planted 
an orchard there, in 1873. The spring from which the family procured water 
was, not long ago, in use. The subjoined letter shows that one man was under 
obligation to this John Milliken. 

"Situate, May ye 26, 1740. 

Mr. Milliken. Your good opinion of me in the first place seems to Ingage a 
great deal of gratitude from me to you had it but lasted it would Certainly have

CHILDREN OF JOHN AND HIS "WTiVKS. 

1. Mary Milliken^ (1), daughter of John^ (2), b. in Boston, Aug. ii, 1719; was 
m. Nov. 9, 1745, to Benjamin Furness, brother of Jonathan Furness, who m. 
her aunt, EUzabeth MilUken. He was connected with the settlement of the John 
Milliken estate in Scarborough, Me., in 1782, and his name appears as attorney 
for his children in the "Milliken Covenant" of 1792. But Httle is known of his 
history. He probably resided in Boston, as his children were christened in Trinity 
church there. A "minute" of papers belonging to John MiUiken delivered to 
him of date 1792 is in my possession. There were three children, named as 
follows : 

I. John Furness, b. July 5, 1747. 

II. Benjamin Furness, b. Dec. 18, 1748, "merchant" in Boston, 1781. 
ni. Mary Furness, mentioned in the "Milliken Covenant." 

2. John Milliken* (3), eldest son of John^ (2), and Sarah Burnett, b. in Boston, 
Mass., Aug. 27, 1721, d. there when a child. 

3. John Milliken* (4), second son of John^ (2), and Sarah Burnett, b. in Boston, 
Mass., Feb. 17, 1723; was m. to Eleanor (Libby) Sallis, widow of Benjamin 
SaUis of Beach Point, Scarborough, Me., Aug. 6, 1761. He d. in 1766, and his 
widow found it necessary to soHcit aid from her father-in-law, as the following 
letter will show. He had three children, of whom more with 5th generation. 

" Honored Sir: — I ask the favor of you for liberty to enclose and improve the 
piece of land on that side of the Road where I live in order to raise some corn 
and roots, and hay for my Cow, towards support of myself and children, and 
pray you will sign your name to this paper by way of consent to my request, 
that I may not be disturbed therein or prevented by others. Your granting my 
request in behalf of myself and your grand-children will much oblige your Daugh- 
ter-in-Law, Eleanor Millikeist. 

To Mr. John Milliken. (Signed) John Milliken." 

4. Thomas Milliken* (2), third son of John^ (2), and Sarah Burnett, b. in Boston, 
May 31, 1724; m. Sarah Thompson of Boston, Nov. 4, 1752, by whom five 
children. She d. in 1774. We have no proof to show that he ever came to 
Scarborough with his father's family. He was engaged in merchandising in 
Boston at the outbreak of the Revolution, and had a large brick house and store 
combined, as was then a custom with merchants who did a small business; this 
was located " only a few doors from Mountfort's Corner at the foot of North 
Square." Like some others of the Milliken family, Thomas was an ardent Roy- 
alist, and being the owner of a tract of land and part of a saw-mill, where the 
city of Ellsworth now stands, he left his younger children in care of his eldest 
daughter, Abigail, then but recently m. to a Frenchman named David Vallette, 
who was at sea, and joined his kinsman, Benjamin Milliken, with whom he 
was associated in business, in Maine. Dr. Snow, in his valualjle History of Bos- 
ton, writing of those troublesome days during the Revolution, says: 

"The solemnity of these sad times was heightened by the occurrence of a fire, 
on Wednesday, Aug. loth. It broke out, between 10 and 11 p.m., in a large 
brick dwelling-house belonging to Mr. Milliken and Mrs. Campbell, in Fish 
Street, five or six doors north of Mountfort's Corner, at the foot of North Square. 
The lower part of the house was in flames before the distressed tenants were 



THJ-: posTER/ry or joiix mii.ijken. id 



aijprised of it. Several escaped out of the windows, some naked and much 
burnt, and five others ])erishe(l in the flames, three women and two children. 
The house was entirely consumed, witli ])art of a bakehouse. The inhaliitaiits 
speedily assemblinij;, with their usual dexterous management, haj)])ilv put a 
stop to the further ])rogress of the llames. Earl Percy politely offered the services 
of some sokliers who could be depended upon, but was informecl that the regu- 
lation of the town rendered their assistance unnecessary." 

The following , written by a lady 80 years of age, a granddaughter of 
Thomas Milliken, speaks for itself: 

" Mr. Milliken, a Scotchman by birth and a warm Royalist, was considered 
a Tory, and as he owned a farm and part of a mill at the eastward he determined 
to leave Boston. Previous to his departure he let a part of his house to a Mrs. 
Murphey, the wife of Captain ^furphey, then at sea; and in the care of Mrs. 
Vallette, his poor lame daughter with a broken back, he left her two little sisters. 
Mrs. \'allette was then twenty years old and had been m. two or three weeks; 
her husband was at sea. 

" Captain ^^urphey arrived home on the loth of August, 1774. and his wife 
in\ited some friends to supper in the evening. The supper was cooked in a room 
where there had been no fire for many years, if ever, and there was probably a 
fault in the chimney. Mrs. Vallette had some of her acquaintance to drink tea 
and pass the evening, which detained her up later than usual. She had retired 
to her cliamber, was undressed, and sat by the side of her bed taking olT lier 
stockings when she heard the cry of 'Fire!' immediately under her window. 
'Get up, get up, your house is in flames!' Raising her eyes she saw the light 
bursting into her chamber, and catching the arm of her little sister, who lay 
sleeping, she dragged her to the door, opened it, and found the stairs on fire. 
Still holding on to her sister, who was hardly yet awake, with presence of mind 
she shut the door and made for the window, where the crowd outside were hold- 
ing up beds and screaming, 'Jump, jump!' After pushing and almost throw- 
ing her l^ewildered sister from the window, she stepped back and took from a 
chair a dress to wrap around her, as she was only in her night clothes, but it 
caught in the hinge of the window shutter and was left behind. \\'hen Mrs. 
\'allette jumped from the window, she fell into the arms of a colored man who 
had formerly lived with her father, and struck with such weight upon his stom- 
ach that he never recovered from the blow. Mrs. Murphey, when she saw the 
flames coming into her room, was partly undressed, and her husband liad only 
taken otT his coat. As the stairs were winding, and he was unacquainted with 
the house, she immediately took his arm and led him to the bottom of the stairs; 
then returning for her children, perished with them in the flames. Mrs. Mur- 
phey was seen coming to the window with a child in her arms, when a bed was 
held up, and the cry was, 'Tlirow your child, if you cannot come yourself!' but 
from that moment she was seen no more. Two elderly ladies, members of her 
family, likewise perished in the flames. One of these, named Gill, was aunt to 
a gentleman who was afterwards governor or lieutenant-governor of Massachu- 
setts. The name of the other old lady was King. Fanny Clark, a faithful 
domestic who had lived in Mr. Milliken's family many years, was badly burned, 
but escaped with her life. James Milliken, the only brother of Mrs. X'allette 
(at home), had been to wait on some of his sister's company home. When he 
heard the alarm of fire, he was at the head of what was then called Seven Star 
Lane, which is now Summer Street. He ran at once toward home, and on

reaching the house found it almost wholly consumed. He could get no tidings 
of his sisters. Spme said all the inmates in the house were burned up; others, 
that a small woman had been seen to jump out of the window and was nearly if 
not quite killed. The young man, accompanied by some of his friends, searched 
the streets in a state of almost utter distraction, and when informed before morn- 
ing that his sisters were safe refused to believe it. They had found shelter with 
a family named Holland. 

" The scene of the ruins the following morning, as described to the writer by 
an eye-witness, was heart-rending. When James Milliken came to the ruins and 
saw Mrs. Vallette with one of his little sisters, he screamed aloud, crying out, 
*\\Tiere, where is Polly?' forgetting that the child was on a visit from home. 
'Safe, safe, dear brother; she is away and has saved her clothes,' replied his 
sister. He still went around in a state of httle less than distraction, saying, 
' Sister, yesterday we had a horiie ; to-day we have none ; no mother, father away, 
and our country ruined.' In this way he raved on, until a gentleman, in whose 
store, on Long Wharf, he was an apprentice, came through the crowd, and taking 
him by the arm forced him into a carriage with his sisters and took them to his 
house, where kind and soothing attention and care brought James to himself 
again; not, however, until the youngest child was brought into his presence. 

" Every article of clothing and furniture in a few short hours had been swept 
away; silver melted to dross; valuable papers and the records of family concern, 
so highly prized by succeeding generations, together with old-fashioned brocade 
silks, left by grandmothers and great-grandmothers, were all gone; yet Mrs. Val- 
lette was heard to say, in after-days, that when looking over this utter desolation 
nothing affected her so much as seeing the cage of a favorite parrot her husband 
had brought her, the first voyage he went to sea, kicking about the ruins. The 
husband of Mrs. Vallette had amply provided for her during his absence, so that 
she could draw a sufficiency, not only for herself, but her poor, desolate sisters. 
— "James Milliken, though only nineteen years old, was a zealous patriot, and 
had already performed many small services for his country. He was well known 
to Messrs. Dennie, Molineux, Procter, and other gentlemen who had been deeply 
engaged in the Revolutionary movement. Every possible attention was paid to 
the young man and much sympathy felt for his sisters. As Boston was in such a 
troubled state, they were advised to go to reside in Lexington, where they had 
friends, with which advice they immediately complied. 

" In April, 1775, Mrs. Vallette and her friend, Mrs. Reed, were sitting in the 
evening at their home at Lexington over a few dying embers, with their infants 
in their arms. The clock had struck eleven. Guns had been heard through the 
day. The firing had ceased, and they sat talking of the perils of the times when 
Mrs. Reed said,"' Hark, I hear footsteps!' — 'It is only the rusthng of the trees,' 
said Mrs. Vallette, 'and we will not be needlessly alarmed,' pressing at the same 
time her infant closer to her heart, as if fearful it might be wrested from her, and 
trying to assume a courage which she did not feel. At that moment a gentle rap 
at the door was heard. 'Who is there?' asked Mrs. Reed, in tremulous tones. 
'Friends,' replied a low voice, speaking through the small hole where the cord 
had been drawn in to prevent the lifting of the latch outside, for few had locks 
and keys in those simi)le times. They immediately opened the door, and three 
men entered in profound silence, each muffled in a long cloak. 'Do not be 
alarmed, ladies,' .said one, in the same low tone of voice; ' we are friends to our 
country and are pursued by the enemy; we have hid in the woods through the 



THE POSTERITY OF JOIIX Mil. I. [KEN. 21 



day, and have come to seek your bounty and a shelter for the night.' — 'And 
these you should have wilh all my heart,' said Mrs. Keed, whose countenance 
brightened up when she found that instead of the dreaded enemy her guests were 
thosedistinguishcd patriots, John Hancock, Samuel Adams, anfl Paul Revere;' but,' 
she continued, 'you would not be safe here a moment. Why, the Red-coats are 
prowling around us in every direction; they were here only soterday, eating all 
my pies, and bread and cheese; and because they could not find enough at my 
neighbor's to satisfy their hunger, they must needs rij) open their beds, and leave 
their cider running out. O sir, these are dreadful times!' — 'They are indeed, 
madam,' said Mr. Hancock. ' But, gentlemen,' he said, turning to his com- 
panions, ' what shall we do, for it is certain we are not safe here?' They looked 
at each other but did not speak. 'Have you any neighbors,' asked Mr. Han- 
cock, 'where we might iind safety for the night?' — 'Xone e.xcept my father,' 
replied Mrs. Reed, 'who lives five miles off, on the main road. It would be 
dangerous for you to go by the road, and you would not find your way through 
the woods, and we have neither man nor boy to guide you; they have all gone 
to fight the Red-coats.' — ' Will you sta}' alone and nurse my baby,' asked Mrs. 
Vallette of her friend, 'while I go and show the gentlemen the way?' She an- 
swered, ' I will do so, though it is sad to be alone in such dangerous times, liut 
you must not go; you arc not able; you are lame, and never walked a mile at once 
in your life; you must not think of going on this wet night.' Mrs. \'allette made 
no reply. She knew there was not a moment to be lost, so laying her infant in 
the arms of her friend, she wrapped her riding-hood around her and desired the 
gentlemen to follow her. ^^'hen they saw this deformed little woman, not more 
than four feet high, prepared to walk a distance of over three miles, they looked 
at each other in mute astonishment, but not a word was spoken, for the case was 
desperate. ^Slrs. Vallette taking the offered arm of INIr. Hancock, they went 
forward, the other two gentlemen bringing up the rear. The rain, which had 
fallen for some days previous, had so swelled the brooks that the gentlemen were 
obliged at times to lift Mrs. Vallette over them. Thus wading and walking, 
they reached the farmhouse about 3 o'clock in the morning. No sooner had 
they aroused the family and made known who they were and what they wanted, 
than every individual was up and in motion; and even the dog tried to show them 
by his gestures that they should find protection. A blazing fire soon shone forth, 
and a plentiful repast was provided; and notwithstanding the gloominess of the 
times, a degree of cheerfulness and even humor pervaded the little companv. 
At early dawn a carriage was prepared to convey Mrs. Vallette home to her 
infant. Mr. Hancock politely lifted her into the carriage and said, ' Madam, our 
first meeting has been in troublesome times. God only knows when these scenes 
will end, but should we survive the struggle, and you should ever need a friend, 
think of me.' 

" About two months from this event the battle of Bunker Hill was fought. 
There James Milliken fell mortally wounded, was taken prisoner, and, with sev- 
eral others, was thrown into a cart and conveyed to the jail, which then stood in 
Prison Lane, now Court Street. Here he lingered, destitute of care and atten- 
tion, and even the necessaries of life, until he went down to an early grave, at 
the age of twenty, and was soon forgotten amidst the horrors of war. Se\"eral 
gentlemen went to the prison, wishing to see him, but were not permitted." 

Thomas Milliken had made his way, accompanied by his son Joseph, to 
Union River, now Ellsworth, Me. The loss of his house, store, and goods, nearly

ruined him financially. The mills and lands owned in company with his cousin, 
Benjamin Milliken, were confiscated and he was left a poor man and a refugee. 
He probably went with other Royalists into New Brunswick until after the Revo- 
lution closed. He married his second wife, Mary McKenney of Frankfort, 
Me., in 1777, by whom he had six children, probably born in Surry, now Ells- 
worth. AMiile these children were still young, their father died. The widow 
was m. to Joseph Carr of Frankfort, by whom she had six children. See 5th 
generation. 

5. Sarah Milliken* (1), second daughter of John^ (2), and Sarah Burnett, b. 
Apr. 29, 1725, was said to have married to one of the Scarborough Carlls and 
become the ancestress of all of this name in the State; but no record of such union 
has been found, and I doubt. She was m. Sept. 18, 1746, to Joseph Hodgdon, 
who was administrator of her father's estate. These had a son whose posterity 
lived in Saco.

CHILDREN OF JOHN AND ELEANOR SALLIS. 

I. John Milliken'^ (5), eldest son of John* (4), b. in Scarborough, Me., 1760; m. 
Christian.a. Mitchell of North Yarmouth. He entered the army during the 
Revolution and served until the war closed. He was a tanner by trade, resided 
in Yarmouth more than twenty years, and built several vessels which he freighted 
to the West Indies. He acquired considerable wealth by navigation, but three 
or more of his vessels were taken by the French, and his heirs were interested in 
the spoliation claims, so many years before Congress. He removed to Belfast, Me., 
in 1802, where he built a store, tavern, and the finest mansion-house then in the 
town. From Belfast he removed to Montville, Me., where he owned a tannery 
and a large farm. He d. there Dec. 24, 1848, aged 87, and his wife, b. 1764, d. 
Aug. 8, 1854, aged 90. Ten children of whom with 6th generation. 

The Spoliation Claims. 
John Milliken owned shares in five vessels which were seized by the French. 
There were schooners "Union," "Sally," and "Susanna," the brig "Neptune," 
and the sloop "Jane." Hon. Seth L. Milliken introduced a bill in the House of 
Representatives for the claims to be adjudicated by the U. S. Court of Claims; 
this passed the House and Senate and was approved by President McKinley. 
The Court of Claims reported favorably to Congress on one vessel in which Mr. 
MiUiken owned one-half, namely, the schooner "Union," and half of the cargo. 
An appropriation was made by Congress to pay this claim, and $1,833.50 was 
awarded to Hon. Seth L. MiUiken as "administrator de bonis non" of his grand- 
father's will. But he d. before the final approval of the act; and at the request 
of other relatives principally interested in the "will," Noel Byron Milhken, a 
brother of the Congressman, was appointed administrator, and to him after many 
delays the money was paid. He made payments to about 40 heirs and devisees. 
After further investigation it was found that one of the vessels named had been 
paid for while John Milliken was living. Another, the brig "Neptune," was 
claimed by other parties, w'ho were adjudged owners and the money awarded

have been filed, and no claims are filed by other parties for losses on the same 
vessels. I can find no record of any papers on file which would go to prove the

can be done about these claims."

He d. in Cherr}tield, Me., July 8, 1891, leaving one son. He received his 
education in the public schools of his native town and in Ellsworth, and was a 
student at Waterville Academy, which w^as changed to Waterville Classical In- 
stitute. He taught school for several years at Ellsworth and in various towns in 
Washington and Hancock counties. When eighteen years of age he was ap- 
prenticed to learn the mason's trade, and worked at it for many years, devoting 
his leisure hours to study. He prepared for the ministry and preached as a Uni- 
versaHst, being an earnest advocate of the creed. He resided in Columbia until 
1855, when he removed to Cherryfield. While living in the former town he was 
serving in some official capacity much of the time. He was justice of the peace, 
and did considerable business as a conveyancer and probate writer. He studied 
law in the office of George F. Talbot, was admitted to the Washington County 
bar in 1855, and immediately opened an office in Cherryfield. He formed a 
copartnership with Frederick I. Campljell, in 1880, which was continued until 
his death. He was first selectman and treasurer in Cherrvfield for many years. 



30 THE POSTER /TV OF JOHN MIL LI KEN. 

He manifested a warm interest in the cause of education, and was trustee for the 
academy in his town; also trustee for the Washington County Academy, one of 
the oldest institutions of its class in the state. 

He was originally an earnest member of the Free Soil party, and in 1854 was 
the candidate for Congressman. The vote was so close that he contested the 
seat, but not successfully; many, however, beUeved he was elected. At the 
formation of the Republican party he cast his lot with them, and was ever after- 
wards a stanch defender of those grand principles for which the party was 
distinguished. He was a faithful supporter of the Union cause during the Re- 
belUon, and after the war represented his district as an active member in the Legis- 
lature. He was associated with Hon. Dennis L. Milliken, his kinsman, as commis- 
sioner on the Equalization of Municipal War Debts, as chairman ; this laborious 
and responsible position he filled with iidehty to the State and honor to himself. 

In 1873 he became judge of probate, and was re-elected to that ofl&ce every 
four years from that date until the spring of 1888, when he was stricken with 
paralysis, from which he never recovered, and resigned his seat. 

Judge Milliken was a competent land surveyor, and assisted the United States 
engineers in estabUshing the base line which the government located in Cherry- 
field and Columbia. 

He was genial, kind, and conversational. While he was a fearless advocate of 
his religious, political, and legal opinions, he courteously conceded to his oppo- 
nents their own rights. He was a man of strict integrity and tireless energy; a 
diligent student, strong in reasoning and able as an advocate. As a citizen he 
was highly esteemed and useful; as a homemaker, husband, and father, an emi- 
nent model. 

He possessed a strong literary taste, and wrote much on genealogy and local 
history, of which pastime he was fond.

The following biographical sketch was adapted from the IMemorial Address of 
Hon. Edwin C. Burleigh on the Life and Character of Hon. Seth L. Milhken: 

The career of Seth L. Milliken vividly and forcibly illustrates the possibilities 
of American citizenship. The honored position he attained in the councils of 
the nation was due in no degree to the accident of birth or fortuitous circum- 
stances. From the age of 14 years, when he left his country home to secure an 
education, with $3, which his grandmother had given him from her Revolutionary 
War pension — the only contribution for this purpose he ever had — and walked 
40 miles to save stage fare, he was wholly the architect of his own fortunes. 




HON. SETH L. MILLIKEN, M.C, BELFAST, ME. 



TJJE rOSTEKJjy OJ- JOJJX MJLUKEN. 33 



To a youth of less resolute mould and tenacity of puq^ose, the obstacles in his 
way would have seemed insurmountable; but tliough his financial resources were 
meagre, he was not without capital. lie had inherited a vigorous constitution, 
and hard work in the open air amid the rugged hills of his native town had given 
him the buovancy of good health and taught him habits of industry that he re- 
tained through life. When scarcely emerged from childhood he took up the 
burdens of life without cx]>erience in worldly aftairs and with no resources save 
his untiring industry, lie had his own way to make in the world, and the de- 
tailed story of his struggles and his triumphs might well serve as a source of 
inspiration to the youth of America. 

In 1856 Mr. Millikcn graduated from Union College in Schenectady, N.Y., 
after having a three years' course at what is now "Colby University" in his own 
State. Six weeks later he was elected to the Maine House of Representatives, 
and returned (by re-election) the following year. Thus in early life he acquired 
a knowledge of legislative procedure which proved of great assistance and value 
to him in later years. 

In 1858 Mr. ]\Iilliken was elected clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court for his 
native countv. While serving in this capacity he pursued the study of law with 
Hon. Nehemiah Abbott and Judge Dickerson of Belfast, two of the most emi- 
nent lawyers of Maine, and was admitted to the bar in 1871. He early acquired 
a wide reputation as a ready and effective political speaker, and his ser\'ices were 
in great demand in times of political emergency both in and out of his own State. 
(He was three times re-elected clerk of courts, and after serving 12 years he de- 
clined another nomination for that office.) 

Prior to liis election to Congress he had travelled nearly 30,000 miles in present- 
ing the principles of his party to popular audiences. The intimate acquaintance 
he thus secured with pubhc men and measures furnished an excellent equipment 
for subsequent duties as a member of this House. 

During his long and distinguished service here he was a painstaking and 
conscientious Representative, thoroughly devoted to the interests of his con- 
stituents; and that they fully appreciated his labors in their behalf is evidenced 
by eight consecutive elections with constantly increasing majorities. 

Mr. MiUiken came of good stock. On the paternal side he was of Scotch de- 
scent. His maternal ancestors were the Counts of Perigaux, who were promi- 
nently identified with the history of France. He thus inherited the best charac- 
teristics of two strong races — from his father a strong will, tenacity of purpose, 
and marked power of analysis; from his mother a poetical temperament, innate 
courtesv, and a ready wit. It is to the combination of these qualities that we may 
trace his notable success as a pubhc speaker and his happy faculty of making and 
retaining strong friendships. 

During the latter years of his life my relations with him were very close and 
intimate, and I had an opportunity to know and appreciate those indefinable at- 
tributes, that attractive charm of personahty, which make up the subtle quahty 
we call magnetism. 

He was a gifted and pleasant speaker. With a fine presence he combined a 
strong, well-modulated voice and grace of diction. He had an exten.sive vocab- 
ulary, and spoke with fluency and ease. He possessed the power of clear and 
cogent statement, and carried his arguments home to his hearers with trenchant 
force. While he clothed his thoughts for the most y)art in plain, strong words of 
Anglo-Saxon origin, his broad culture enabled him on occasions to embellish 
them with the beauties of classical Uterature and the graces of poetry. 



34 THE POSTERITY OE JOHN MILLIKEN. 

His manners at all times were courteous and affable, and he was never placed at 
a disadvantage in public discussion by irritability of temper. He had a keen 
sense of humor and an apparently inexhaustible fund of anecdotes, upon which 
he could always draw to illustrate his points with happy effect in gaining the good 
will and holding the attention of his audiences. 

He was quick in repartee, and yet one — 

"Whose wit in the combat as gentle as bright 
Ne'er carried a heartstain away on its blade." 

Mr. Milliken was a natural scholar. He was impatient, it is true, of the more 
laborious processes of intellectual acquisition. He apparently had the power of 
absorbing knowledge. His mind was enriched with stores of information gleaned 
from a wide and varied reading, especially in lines of historical research, for which 
he had a strong liking. 

He had a faculty of mentally classifying the facts he assimilated in their rela- 
tions to other facts. He was a close observer of events, and his wonderfully 
retentive memory rendered constantly available for any emergency his stores of 
information. 

All who knew Seth L. Milliken can bear truthful testimony that he was a man 
of cathohc spirit. His sympathies were broad. He loved the society of his fellow- 
men, and was tolerant in all things. There was in his nature no trace of snobbery 
or affectation. 

He was always accessible, genial, and loyal. While he was all his hfe a 
strong partisan with a firm beHef in the necessity of party organization and dis- 
ciphne as a factor in republican government, he was singularly free from political 
rancor, and never permitted the intensity of his political convictions to affect the 
amenities of his social relations with men of opposing views. While strongly tena- 
cious of his own opinions, and ever ready to champion them upon all proper 
occasions, he was never lacking in respect for the honest convictions of those 
who differed with him on questions of public policy. 

Few men in public Hfe have ever possessed a finer tact in dealing with others, 
or a more thorough mastery of the art of conciliation. It was not his nature 
to treasure resentments. Intensely American in all his views, he blended pru- 
dence with patriotism. Accustomed to look upon the bright side of life, he 
had an abiding love for his country and profound faith in its future. 

He died as he had Uved, "in the harness." In the meridian of his powers and 
in the unimpaired possession of all his faculties he was called suddenly from 
the activities of a busy life, from its duties, its hopes, its aspirations, to 

"The lone couch of his everlasting sleep." 

The sorrow of his untimely death was shared by all classes. The pulpit and the 
press have united in giving expression to the popular sense of bereavement and 
in paying eloquent tribute to his memory.

CAMDEN AND HER SCENERY. 

BY NOEL BYRON MILLIKEN. 
Hail, Camden, the home of good health and good cheer, 
The charming resort from afar and from near! 
Sky, mountains and valleys and waters, I hail, 
I once loved to clamber, to ramble, to sail. 

I long to return to the home of my youth, 

Where springtime and summer, and autumn, forsooth, 

In beauty and loveliness smile on the scene, 

With woodlands and hillsides all decked out with green; 

Or gold in September, and crimson and fire, 
.^nci flowers and fountains and fruits to desire. 
The rays of the morning and sunset's red light, 
Disclosing a picture to charm and delight; 

Where mists clothe the mountains when east winds prevail, 
And round off the crag-peaks that show through the veil, 
Like maidens' fair shoulders and figures of grace, 
WTien clad in white raiment and rich, airy lace. 



36 THE POSTEKITY OF JOHN MILLIKEN. 

How sweet are the memories, how golden the dreams, 
Of that humble homestead, landscape and streams! 
When often I visit her shores and her hills. 
The prospect seems fairer, the balminess thrills; 

The moonbeams more brilliant, the shadows grow deep, 
The echo's sound clearer, the hillsides grow steep. 
Reflecting in waters more crystal and bright, 
And wavelets that shimmer with silvery light. 

To ride on the "Turnpike" through archways of green, 
Where precipice lofty bursts forth on the scene. 
Or crags high above seem to threaten and frown, 
And into the lake's mirrored waters look down.

2. Hon. Isaac L. Milliken^ (4), eldest son of xVnios" (1), was b. in Kflingham, 
now Freedom, N._H., Aug. 31, 1813; m. June 26, 1839, to Almira Dole of Ra- 
cine, Wis., who d. issueless in Chicago, 111., Sept. 28, 1871, and he d. there Dec. 
2, 1SS9. 

He remained at home among New Hampshire's granite hills until his si.xteenth 
year, when he went to Troy, N. Y., and learned the blacksmith's trade with his 
uncle, Arthur MiUiken. In 1836, he went to Chicago and opened a shop in 
which he did most of the work of Fink & Walker, who ran a line of stages west 
from Chicago into the country. 

During his leisure hours he read law, and, although never a regular attorney, his 
knowledge of books was by no means meagre. He was popular with his fellow- 
citizens and gradually drifted into j)olitical currents. Before the Ci\il War he 
was a Democrat, but he favored abolition and went over to the RepubHcan party 
when the strife began and remained a staunch defender of its principles until his 
death. He was one of the pioneers of Cook Co., 111., and long before the war 
had rendered important service to the county and city. 

Chief among the responsible official positions filled by him was that of Mayor, 
to which office he was elected Mar. 13, 1854. For two terms he served as Alder- 
man, and acted as assistant County Judge in 1883. During the Civil War he 
was in the service of the government, acting as Commissioner of Enrollment for 
the city of Chicago through the entire period until the peace. For a long term 
of years after he was mayor, he filled the chair of Police Justice with honesty and 
ability. 

He owned a large farm at Monee, 111., and alter his retirement from public life 
he spent much of his time upon it, taking a great interest in its management up 
to a short time before his death. 

The following account of his funeral is taken from "The Daily Inter Ocean," 
Dec. 6, 1889. 

Ex-Mayor Milliken's Funeral. 

The funeral of the late Isaac L. MiUiken was held yesterday afternoon at the 
Central Church of Christ, on Indiana Avenue, near Thirty-seventh Street, of 
which ^[r. MiUiken was a member, the Rev. W. F. Black officiating. The church 
was filled early with friends of Mr. MiUiken, and shortly after the hour appointed, 
a large delegation from William B. Warren Lodge, A. F. and A. M., under com- 
mand of Charles Rankin, Master, entered the church. The honorary i^all- 
bearers were as follows: C. E. Peck, E. Mannierre. J. Trainor. S. W. King, 
Samuel Bial, Jerre Courtright, J. E. Stafford, A. L. Sherman. J. K. C. Forrest, 
William Wayman, L. T. Hilliard, S. Sayers, S. Rankin. The actual pall-bearers.

ers, appointed by William B. Warren Lodge, were as follows: C. A. Fee, O. A. 
Campbell, G. H. Harris, W. R. Howard, William Sharp, and P. E. Rathbone. 

The City Council was represented by Mayor Cregier and the following Alder- 
men: Merling, Madden, Pond, Haynes, Webber, Jackson, Dickson, Horner, 
Kelly, Kinney, Long, and Hepburn. W. J. Onahan accompanied the Mayor. 
Besides these two delegations there were a number of old citizens, among whom 
were Philip A. Hoyne, John Fergus, T. Rankin, William Harper, Jerre Court- 
right, J. F. Stafford, J. Y. Scammon, C. DeWolf, C. T. Boggs, Joseph Gray, 
Samuel Ellis, Charles Harpell, A. H. Blackall, and Henry Sayres. 

Shortly after i o'clock the services were begun by singing by the church quartet, 
after which the services were conducted by the Rev. Black, who delivered an ad- 
dress full of feeling over his old friend. He said: " Blessed are the dead that die 
in the Lord, for their works will follow them, thus saith Revelation. Life and 
death are so entwined that as soon as we begin to live we begin to die, reminding 
one of the shortness of life and the certainty of death. It is the destiny of every 
person here. Mr. Milliken was a good laborer. Born Aug. 31, 1813, in New 
England, he came to Chicago in 1836, and in 1854 he was elected Mayor of your 
city, and he filled several official positions. He served you well and has your 
praises now for the services. The younger men of this audience may regard his 
life as an example to follow. It is better to live well than to live long, but when like 
him who lies here, we can live well and live long, too, then it is a life well spent." 

The quartet then sang a hymn, after which the audience passed by the remains 
and out of the church. The William B. Warren Lodge delegation took charge 
of the body and bore it from the church to Rose Hill, where it was interred in 
the Milliken lot with appropriate Masonic ceremonies. 

At a meeting of the Chicago City Council held Dec. 11, 1889, Aldermen Dixon, 
Campbell, and Cullerton, the special committee on resolutions, offered the fol- 
lowing memorial in honor of the late Isaac L. Milliken: — 

Whereas, It has pleased the All-wise Providence to call to Himself Isaac 
L. Milliken, ex-Mayor of this city, one of her early pioneers. 

Whereas, The Hon. Isaac L. Milliken, during his active and honorable life ren- 
dered such services in the early history of this city as to endear his memory to 
every citizen of this city and State, lending his efforts and influence in all matters 
calculated to develop her capacity for future prosperity, and to make this city 
the great center of the Northwest: therefore be it 

Resolved, That the City Council of Chicago respectfully tender to the bereaved 
family of the late Isaac L. Milliken our sincere and heartfelt sympathy in their 
sad bereavement; and be it further 

Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of this Council, 
and that a copy of the same be engrossed and forwarded to the family of the de- 
ceased. The resolutions were adopted by a rising vote.

sixteen w^hen the family moved back to Saco, ]\Ie., where he learned the baker's 
trade, at which he worked for several years. He then became a stone mason 
and was employed in building the foundation of some of the Biddeford Mills, 
and was also employed by the York aNfanufacturing Com])any in Saco for a num- 
ber of years. For eleven years he was on the police force of Biddeford. He 
enlisted in the 27th Maine Regiment, and served about ten months, and upon 
his return embarked in the retail meat and provision business, which he continued 
for eighteen years till he retired to his farm in Biddeford. He served on the 
Board of Aldermen in the city for three }"ears. He was always interested in farm- 
ing and belonged to the York County Agricultural Society, at one time serving 
as its Treasurer and Trustee. He was a communicant of the Foss Street Metho-

Mr. Milliken was a man of strong and settled convictions and a patriotic and 
respected citizen. He po.ssessed a discriminating mind and was found on the 
right side of all great moral questions. 

To this couple were b. seven children, of whom with the 8th generation. 

6. David Milliken^ (1), fourth son of Amos" (1), was b. in Effingham. N. H., 
Nov. 17, 1822; m. Apr. 5, 1844, to Philen.a. Jane Johnson. He passed his 
boyhood for ten or twelve years with his parents in Freedom and Eaton, N. H. 

Going to ALiine when a boy, he attended the public schools and Westbrook 
Seminary, and when about eighteen years of age let himself for a term of two 
years to a Scotchman, by the name of Captain Wright, who had charge of the 
dyeing for the York Manufacturing Comj)any of Saco. The compen.sation for 
his services agreed upon being '' Sixty Dollars ($60) a year and instructitm in the 



50 POSTERITY OF SAMUEL MILLIKEN. 

art of dyeing." After learning his trade he worked at it most of the time for sev- 
eral years. The only exception being that he taught school several winters. 

In the winter of 1852-53 he went to Lewiston, Me., to take charge of the 
dyeing in the new mill of the Bates Manufacturing Company just starting up, 
and remained there as overseer until the fall of 1855, when he went West, spend- 
ing the winter in Chicago, clerking and reading law in the office of his brother, 
Judge Milliken. In the sprmg of '56, he went to Monee, Will Co., 111., about 
thirty-si.x miles south of Chicago, and engaged in farming. For the next seven 
or eight years he carried on a farm, and at the same time represented his town 
on the Board of Supervisors of Will Co. ; was also Justice of the Peace and Trial 
Justice for that district. He taught school nearly every winter during his resi- 
dence in Illinois. 

During the first two or three years of the war he was captain of a military 
company known as the "Monee Guards," and during that time assisted in en- 
listing and drilling a good many men for the army, and in the summer of 1864 
was commissioned Captain by Governor Yates and opened a recruiting office in 
the city of Joliet. 

The Twentieth Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry having been badly cut 
up, in fact, nearly annihilated, in one of the great battles of the war, he enlisted 
a great many men to fill up the ranks of that regiment, and finally was assigned 
to the command of Company "A" of that regiment and went South with his 
company, joining Sherman's army and accompanying it on its great "march to 
the sea." 

On the i6th of July, 1865, when stationed somewhere in Kentucky, his com- 
pany was ordered to Chicago to be mustered out of service, and it was some time 
in August that he left the service and joined his family who, in the meantime, 
had returned to Maine. 

At this time it was his intention to return to Illinois, but early in the fall of 
'65, a position was offered him as overseer of dyeing, and as his family preferred 
the East, he finally decided to take the position and remain in the East. From 
1865 to 1870 he had charge of the dyeing for the Boston Duck Company, dye- 
house in Three Rivers, Mass. In 1870 he took a position as overseer of dyeing 
of the Columbian Manufacturing Company, Greeneville, N. H., and remained 
until the spring of '74, when he returned to Three Rivers to take charge of the 
dyeing for a new mill which had recently been built by the Otis Company, and 
remained in the service of that company as superintendent of dyeing, until com- 
pelled to resign on account of ill health, in the summer of 1887, when he retired 
to a small farm in Wilbraham, Mass., and died there Oct. 11, 1888. 

Captain Milliken was naturally studious and always a great reader, and 
having an excellent memory, possessed a fund of information on a great many 
subjects which he knew well how to use in argument or debate. He was a man 
of strong convictions and was never afraid of being in the minority when he felt 
that he was in the right. 

Going to IlHnois in the fall of 1855, he had not been in the State long enough 
to be entitled to vote for John C. Fremont, the first Republican candidate for the 
Presidency, at the presidential election of 1856, but from that time on he was an 
active worker in the ranks of the Republican ])arty in both State and national 
affairs while he remained in Illinois, often presiding at the conventions of that 
party and speaking for its principles and candidates on the stump during its 
campaigns. 



rOSJURJ IV OJ- SAMUEL MIl.l.lKI- \. TA 



After lakiiiLi; up liis residence in Massachusetts at the close of the war, he was 
always actively en<fagecl in temi)crance work, and as the Republican party in 
that State, at that time, was al)<)ut equally divided into two factions, one favoring 
the license of the liquor trade, and the other strongly opjjosing any such action, 
and favoring its prohibition by State laws, he was naturally in sympathy with, 
and did all that he possibly could for, the success of the temperance wing u{ the 
party. The license question was the principal issue in Massachusetts State poli- 
tics for a number of years, and as the State had a very large Republican majority, 
the contention was mainly within the ranks and between the factions of that 
party until a sort of a compromise was effected b\- the enactment of the local 
option law. 

This did not, by any means, .settle the matter, but left it for each city and 
town to decide the question for itself at tlic j^olls each year. Captain Milliken 
was oi)i>osed to the k)cal option law on the ground that it was wrong in j)rinciple, 
contending that if it was wrong to legalize the sale of liquor in any one city or 
town, as he believed it was, the State had no moral right to authorize its sale in 
any other city or town in the Commonwealth, though a majority of its citizens 
might l)e in faxor of the license law. After a time the cajjtain became convinced 
that the Republican party, as such, would do no more in the interests of temi)er- 
ance, and that temperance men could serve the cause better by working with the 
so-called third party, and he allied himself with the Prohibition party and hence- 
forth was one <if its most active workers. 

Captain Milliken was converted and joined the Free Baptist Church in Saco, 
Me., when a young man. In 1 876 it was largely through his labors and influence 
and that of his family that the Union EvangeUcal Church at Three Rivers, Mass., 
was organized, with 38 members; the Captain and three other members of his 
family being among the number. During the first 25 years of the church's his- 
tory there were 423 members on its roll, 212 male and 211 female, and included 
in this membership were 53 persons that had come out from the Church of Rome. 

Captain Milliken taught a young men's Bible class in the Sunday-school of 
this church, and his influence with the young men of the church and community 
was remarkable and lasting. 

He was a man of considerable more than ordinary intelligence and ability, 
well read, an earnest, active Christian gentleman. Not ambitious to till any 
high station in life, but ever content with his lot, he was always ready to help 
others, either by word or deed, and many there were who went to him for advice 
or more substantial help in times of trouble. 

He used to say that it was not so much the mission of the church to fit men to 
die as it was to fit them to live right lives; that everything possible should be 
done to make it harder for men to do wrong and easier for them to do right. 

He had a great deal of sympathy for drinking men who were trying to break 
away from their old habits, particularly old soldiers whom he knew had been 
subjected to trying temptations in their army life. He never tired of helping 
such men, although very often every eft"ort seemed to be in vain; yet not all, for 
there are men living to-day who are living honest, sober lives who testify that 
their present condition in life is due in a large measure to the kindly word of 
encouragement and helping hand of Captain Milliken. 

He had issue nine children, of whom with Sth generation. 
7. Aphia F. Milliken^ (1), third daughter of Amos* (1), was b. in Freedom, 
N. H., Jan. 10, 1825; was m. in 1850 to John Lowell, of Portland, Me., and 



52 POSTERITY OF SAMUEL MILLIKEN. 

went to California in 1864. Mr. Lowell d. Mar. 19, 1892, and his widow and 
four children are living at Alameda, Cal. 

8. Rev. Abraham H. Milliken^ (1), fifth son of Amos" (1), was b, in Effingham, 
N. H., July 12, 1828, and at the age of twenty-five he m. Miss Rose Woodman. 
He went to Saco with his parents when four years of age, and in the mills there 
learned the dyer's trade, and became an efficient workman. Soon after marriage 
he removed to Lebanon, N. H., where he had charge of the dyeing department in 
one of the mills until Lincoln's call for defenders of the nation's life, when he 
opened a recruiting office and enhsted a portion of the 12th New Hampshire 
Regiment, in which he was commissioned second lieutenant. At the battle of 
Chancellorsville he commanded his company and was promoted to first lieuten- 
ant for bravery, after being hit by four minie bullets and a fragment of a shell, 
the latter wounding him severely. He commanded his company at Fredericks- 
burg, and at Gettysburg, where he was one of the last to leave the field after the 
great Union victory. 

Returning from the war at its close, he engaged in business at Mechanic 
Falls, Me., but soon found that he could not silence the voice that had been call- 
ing him into the "King's business" from the commencement of his Christian 
life. He was converted in Saco in the winter of 185 1-2, under labors of Rev. 
F. W. Straight, in the pastorate of Rev. S. Bathrick, who baptized him and re- 
ceived him into the Saco church. The older members of the church remember 
him still with great tenderness and affection. His conviction was deep and pun- 
gent, and his conversion clear and thorough. But he held back from the min- 
istry until he became convinced that he must preach or lose his soul ! 

With the loss of all his earthly possessions came his final decision to enter 
upon a course of study for the ministry. He completed the three years' course, 
and was graduated from the Cobb Divinity School in 1873 at the age of forty-five 
years. [His school life in Lewiston was passed during my pastorate in Auburn, 
and his church home was with us, so that I became intimately and happily ac- 
quainted with his experience as a Christian and as a student.] He was a diligent 
painstaking student, a conspicuously faithful and helpful Christian worker in the 
church, and a constant comfort to its pastor. He was also, for two years or 
more, secretary of the Auburn Y. M. C. A., where his consecrated service bore 
much precious fruit. 

He was ordained at Parker's Head, Me., July 2, 1873, Rev. W. H. Bowen, 
D.D., preaching the ordination sermon, and entered at once upon the pastorate 
of that church. His settlement there was almost immediately followed by a 
great revival of religion, which compassed, among other good things, the break- 
ing up of a dancing school in mid-term, and the conversion of seven sea captains 
with a score or more of others. 

From Parker's Head he went to North Danville, Vt., in 1875, where a great 
revival doubled the church membership the first year of his pastorate. In a 
clear stream flowing near the house of worship he excavated with his own hands 
a beautiful out-of-door baptistery before the revival began, and God rewarded 
his faith by permitting him to lead into it for baptism nearly all the apparently 
convertible population of the place. 

West Derby, Vt., called him from N. Danville, and kept him five years, in 
which the church passed through an experience little short of a resurrection from 
the dead, financially and spiritually. The Free Baptists, who had owned the 
house of worship in part only, came into full possession of it, made extensive

repairs, ceased from dependence upon the home mission society, and the church 
became not only self-su])portin<f, but rt'<i;ular contributors to all our benevolent 
societies, received large accessions of numbers, and grew into a strong, united 
church. 

His next two settlements were with the two churches at Bar Mills (Buxton) 
and IFollis, Me., united in one jiastoratc, and the cluirch at Xortli Lebanon, Mc, 
in both of which he showed the same wise leadership, followed the same broad 
plans for material growth, and exhibited the same skill and success in winning 
souls that he had manifested in other fields. The churches were revived and 
built up and many of the young were gathered in. 

Leaving N. Lebanon, he accepted his charge at Wolfborough with no little 
shrinking. But before its three years had closed he had received into the church 
fifty-two souls, and had seen it greatly strengthened along the lines of practical 
Christian activity. The young peo])le were brought in in large numbers and 
gathered into one of the largest and most efficient A. C. F. societies in the New 
Hampshire Yearly Meeting. 

Brother Milliken's last pastorate was at Kittery Point, Me. After a com- 
paratively brief but successful work there, his rapidly failing health compelled 
his resignation, and in May, 1895, his active pastoral labor ended within two 
months of twenty-two years from its beginning. In the following summer he 
was alarmingly ill at Ocean Park, where he had gone for recuperation. By 
September he had so far rallied as to venture upon a visit to his son, residing in 
Nashua, N.H. But early in November he was stricken with paralysis, resulting 
from spinal myelitis. In great suffering and with great patience and unwa\er- 
ing faith he awaited his promotion in the home of his only surviving son, Edward 
B. }slillikcn, receiving with grateful appreciation the constant and tender care of 
his faithful companion, and his devoted son and wife, until Feb. 8, 1896, when 
he ceased from suffering and rose into rest. 

"When near the end he was asked how it seemed ahead, he replied with a 
confident smile, "All light, bright, and beautiful. 'Jesus paid it all,' bless His 
name." 

A private funeral service was held in Nashua, conducted by Rev. C. S. Per- 
kins, pastor of the Nashua church, and the body rested there in a receiving tomb 
until summer, when it was removed, according to his own recjuest, to West Derby, 
Vt.,and laid beside that of his son Woodman, whose death during his pastorate 
there was the great affliction of his life. 

He was a rare man, a whole-souled Christian, and a remarkably successful 
pastor. 

Intellectually he had sound common sense, candid and reliable judgment, 
excellent knowledge of human nature, and such substantial culture as rewards 
an earnest effort to make the most of one's self for a holy calling. 

Spiritually his piety was deep, thorough-going, all-pervading. He was in- 
capable of any compromise with the devil. In rehgion and in morals he exacted 
of himself all that he required of others, and embodied his Christian {Profession 
in his daily life. His Christian sympathy was quick and strong and helpful, and 
his spirit of self-denial was like his Master's. He was mighty in prayer, and on 
his knees in public and private he was wont to bring heaven and earth in touch 
with each other. 

As a preacher he was conscientious and painstaking in the preparation of 
his sermons, giving them careful and prayerful study, and then delivering them 



54 POSTERITY OF SAMUEL MILLIKEN. 

with singular modesty and earnestness. He was not tluent as a speaker, but he 
was impressive. He got at the root of the matter in his text, and the evident sin- 
cerity of his utterances in the pulpit seldom failed to produce conviction. He 
preached each sermon with a definite purpose inspired from on high. He didn't 
lire without taking aim. 

As a pastor of his flock he had very few equals. He knew the condition and 
needs of his people, and was untiring and successful in his efforts to do them 
good. His presence in the sick room was always a blessing, and his tender sym- 
pathy with those in any trial was always a comfort and a help. 

As a public teacher he was loyal to his God, to his conscience, and to the 
people of his choice. His denomination received much of his best thought and 
best effort in all the lines of its Christian work. He was evangelical in the best 
<?ense, and he taught only what he believed in his heart. 

As a citizen he took an active interest in public affairs, and held his own in- 
dependent opinions on all the political, social, and moral problems of the day 
with courage and good conscience. 

In his home he was all that was thoughtful and patient and kind ; and their 
loss was most keenly felt who were nearest to him in the home relation. 

But after all is said of his individual characteristics as a man and a minister 
of Christ, and of their lasting influence upon all who knew him, it still remains 
true that he made his deepest and most permanent impression upon the common 
people, and upon the churches with which he labored, by the sterling quality of 
his genuine Christian character as a whole, and that in all his preaching his most 
practical and convincing sermon was his consistent and stainless public and 
private daily life. — From the Morning Star, by Rev. Fernald.

Co., Pa. She is a descendant of the well-known Lee family of Virginia, and of 
Revolutionary stock. Alma Milliken has had a somewhat eventful life. He 
early attended school at the Sawyer schoolhouse, on the Buxton road, and at 
Sandy Brook in Saco, supplementing this by a course of study at Westbrook 
Seminary. He entered the mills at Biddeford, learned the dyer's trade and 
worked as a journeyman and overseer in the mills at Saco, Biddeford, Lewiston 
(Me.), and Laconia, N. H. 

He enlisted in the 12th New Hampshire Regiment of Lifantry, Aug. 13, 1862,

through his left arm, and spent some months in a hospital in Washington, D.C. 
He joined his regiment at Point Lookout, Md. At the battle of Cold Ihirbor he 
was seriously injured in a charge on the enemy's works, and was sent again to

After receiving an honorable discharge from the army, he joined his family 
in Michigan, lie subsequently worked in a woollen mill; then engaged in the 
furniture business; then worked for ten years as a pattern maker. He culti- 
vated a market garden in Michigan City, Ind., two years. Latterly, he has 
found eniployment with his son-in-law as a contractor and builder, his residence 
being in lielhany. Neb. He is a man of strict integrity, and a devout Christian.

Edward Millikeiv' (1), ei2;hth son of John^ (1), and Elizabeth Alger, was baptized 
at the Braille Street church, Boston, Mass., July 6, 1706, and settled in Scar- 
borough (District of Maine), on the Dunstan lands, in 1729. He m. Abigail 
Norman.* Was admitted to the First Church in Scarb()r()u<j;h, Oct. 31, 1736. 
He was widely known by the title ''Justice Milliken," having been a[)pointed a 
judge of the Inferior Court in 1760, and was continued in that office until 1771. 
His reputation was that of sound judgment and sterling integrity; a prudent 
counsellor and useful, public-spirited townsman. He was a grantee of Trenton, 
on Union Ri\er, when so many of his townsmen removed to that section of the 
now State of Alaine. His name appears on a petition to His Excellency, Francis 
Benard, of date Jan. 3, 1762, in which it was stated as follows: "We the sub- 
scribers, having been soldiers at Fort Pownall, and now .settled at a place called 
Magebaggadeuce on the eastern side of Penobscot Bay," etc. He acted a prom- 
inent part in the settlement of Trenton, and was appointed by the General Court 
to receive the bonds of the grantees. He was moderator of a meeting held by 
the proprietors of the townships on Union River, Aug. i, 1764, at the tavern of 
Capt. Sam. Skillings, in Falmouth. We have not found a record of his death, 
nor that of his wife. These had a family of fourteen children, as will presently 
appear, and their posterity is very numerous, far exceeding in numbers the other 
branches of the Scarborough family.

.\bigail Norman Milliken had a son named John Mulberry, a son Benjiimin, and a 
daughter Susanna; names in this Mulberry family. MoSES N0RM.A.N was an innkeeper in 
Boston, 1727. An.\ Norman continued the business there in 1728. Richard Nok.man was 
at Marblehead, 1679 and 1681. John Norman, son of Richard and Abigail (Roper) Nor- 
man, died in 171 3, aged 76.

he traded, on the Dunstan Landing road. He was an owner of lands in Rowley- 
Canada (now near Nashua, N.H.), which had been granted to soldiers, or heirs 
of soldiers, who had served in the Canada expedition of 1696; but when the 
boundary line between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was run out and 
established, these lands were found to have been in the latter province, and he, 
with other petitioners, was granted, in 1761, a township seven miles square, east 
of the Saco River, in lieu of that of which they had been dispossessed. He was 
one of three who proceeded to lay out the township named " Pondicherry," now 
Bridgton, Me., and on presenting a plan of the same to the General Court they 
obtained confirmation of said grant, June 25, 1765. Finding the timber on 
these lands too remote from a market, Benjamin Milliken sold out his share and 
invested in lands adjoining other lands owned by him on Union River, and made 
that locality the seat of his lumbering business. He had lost his lands and other 
property in Scarborough by foreclosure of a mortgage held by Wheelwright & 
Althrope of New York, and in 1764 made Trenton his headquarters. He was 
granted a mill privilege there with timber lands adjoining, and with his wife and 
daughter and thirty men went down in a vessel owned by Ephraim Dyer, and 
built a saw-mill on a small stream that empties into Union River. The condi- 
tion of his grant required him to have his mill fi^t for service within six months 
from the date, Aug. i, 1764, and as it was raised between Sept. 2 and Oct. 12 of 
that year, he evidently fulfilled his contract. 

In his deposition, given in 1796, Ephraim Dyer testified that he carried down 
about four hundred pounds' worth of provisions and other stores; that he re- 
mained and helped the Millikens near a fortnight, during which time the men 
made use of his vessel to live in until they had built a house. This " house" was 
but a rude camp built against a huge bowlder named by an early surveyor the 
"Punch Bowl; " and a daughter of Benjamin Milliken, then only fourteen years 
of age, afterwards Mrs. Lord, cooked the first meal ever prepared by a white 
woman in the township. 

As there were thirty-two workmen employed on the mill, a large quantity of 
food must have been consumed; and as Ephraim Dyer said two women went 
down from Scarborough in the vessel with the builders, it has been assumed that 
one of them was the mother of the maid who first put the kettle on ; but the rec- 
ords prove that this was not the fact, for her father married Elizabeth Banks in 
1754, only ten years before the mill was built, and would not have had a daughter 
by her fourteen years 0} age at that time. Abigail Milliken, daughter of Sarah 
Smith, Benjamin's first wife, was b. in 1750, and was just fourteen when the mill 
was erected, and if the statements and dates are correctly given, — and there are 
excellent authorities to verify them, — this daughter was the first to prepare food 
in Trenton, now Ellsworth. 

This first saw-mill built by the Millikens — for Thomas of Boston was part 
owner — was unwisely situated, proved almost a failure, was called the " Folly 
Mill," and was soon abandoned. Afterwards they built a double saw-mill on 
another water power, and there the Millikens carried on their lumber business 
successfully many years. They owned vessels, and shipped much of the manu- 
factured lumber to Connecticut and sold it. 

As Benjamin Milliken had expressed Tory sentiments, and as feeling was 
running high when the Revolutionary \\'ar broke out, fearing for his own and the 
safety of his family, he was persuaded by his friends to join the British at Castine. 
He subsequently removed to New Brunswick, and on Aug. 12, 1784, with about

one hundred others, known as the " Penobscot Association Loyalists," received 
two grants of land from the i^overnnicnt. Their town grant comprised the town 
plot of St. Andrew's, the now famous summer resort; and tiieir farm lots under 
separate grants included several tracts extending from Bocabec westerly along 
the coast to St. Stephen, with an additional tract on the St. Croix River above 
what is now Milltown. 

Mis son, Benjamin Milliken Jr., received a lot in the same grant; the numbers 
of these lots w^ere, respectively, 129 and 131, fronting on the St. Croix River, 
about one mile east of the present town of St. Stephen. Shortly after these lands 
were granted he left St. Andrew's and went to a place ten miles westward, on the 
shore of St. Andrew's Bay, called Bocabec. Here he built a house, the cellar of 
which is still visible, and a shipyard, where he built vessels, the remains of which 
may now be seen. Here he passed the remainder of his eventful life, and here 
his grave is pointed out in a lot where some members of his family were buried. 

\M'ien we contemplate the history of this man we are moved to feelings of 
pity, for the unconquerable courage and unfaltering spirit of enterprise displayed 
by him in the vicissitudes he experienced were worthy of greater success than he 
achieved. He must have been a person possessed of great will -force and exhaust- 
less resources, for, undismayed, he grappled with formidable obstacles which he 
either outflanked or overcame. He was invested with an ample supply of that 
kind of stuff, of which, under proper opportunities, great generals are made; and 
had he espoused the cause of the colonists as warmly as did some of his kindred, 
he would have won his epaulets in our struggle for independence. But he was 
not, unfortunately for him, on the winning side. His estates in Maine were con- 
fiscated, and he was, evidently, comparatively poor when, in the British Dominion, 
he began the ''struggle for existence" the third time. He was a pioneer of old 
Scarborough, a pioneer on Union River and the founder of Ellsworth, and a 
pioneer adventurer of St. Andrew's. 

Many misleading statements concerning this lion-hearted man and his chil- 
dren ha\e been circulated, and famil}- tradition was far astray; but we have de- 
rived our data principally from authentic sources and from an intelligent member 
of the Milliken family living in New Brunswick who has visited the neighbor- 
hood of his last earthly home, his grave, and copied from his old Bible the rec- 
ords of his family; hence we are enabled to present in connected form the salient 
features in the history of one about whose motives and conduct there has been 
much speculation. He has been called "Royalist Ben," "Tory Ben," and 
"Runaway Ben; " but on good authority we are ready to assume that Benjamin 
Milliken was a man of noble impulses and superior moral character, who was 
impelled to make the sacrifices he did from what was, to him, principle, and his 
expatriation showed him to have been a loyal Royalist. The names of his chil- 
dren will appear with the 5th generation.

1733-4. He m. May 23, 1754, to Elizabeth Harmon in the same town. He 
was a grantee of Trenton, Me., in 1763. He lived on the homestead farm in his 
native town, where he remained until about 1805, when he removed to Buxton 
and lived with his son Nathaniel until his death, about 1812. He was buried in 
an old graveyard on the fence line which now divides the farms of Henry Hill 
and Henry Hews. He was called "Skipper Ned," and was, I suppose, in early 
life, a seaman. His family consisted of eleven children, of whom with 5th gen- 
eration.

7, 1739; m. Sarah Simonton, and lived in his native town. He was known as 
"Mulbery Milliken," being named, we assume, for some of the Boston Mul- 
berys,* who were connected with the Norman and Milliken families. Capt. 
Mulbery Milliken had command of a vessel in 1774. He carried a cargo of lum- 
ber to Salem for Mr. King, and on his own responsibility took out a license from 
some authority there and carried the lumber to Boston, it being wanted there to 
build barracks for the British troops, and sold it at a good price. He was the 
father of a large family, of whom more with 5th generation.

14, 1741; was m. to George Coolbroth, 1762, with whom she eloped on snow- 
shoes, climbing from her bedroom window, and was disinherited by her father 
for so doing. She lived to be more than one hundred years of age, and often re- 
lated her romantic adventures to her grandchildren, advising them not to do as 
she had done. She was the mother of twelve children, and her descendants are 
very numerous.

River, where he settled about 1765; he removed to Pretty Marsh in 1783. He 
was a pioneer on Mt. Desert Island, and was known and honored by all who 
knew him. Bold to speak the truth, he is said to have offended evil-doers; but 
even his enemies, if such he had, respected him for his staunch manhood. He 
and his estimable companion were of the old-fashioned stamp, somewhat quaint 
in appearance on pubhc occasions, but by all respectable persons they were treated 
with deference and poUteness. This world would be much better with more of

called, against which the fiire was built. She d. in Surry, Me., May 10, 1838, aged

88. There have been several Norman Lords in Eastern Maine, who were prob- 
ably her descendants. Thus the name of the Norman family was perpetuated. 

3. Susanna Milliken* (2), third daughter of Benjamin* (2), was b. in Scarbro, 
July 10, 1752. 

4. Benjamin Milliken^ (3), eldest son of Benjamin* (2), was b. in Scarbro, May 
15. 1754, and d. young. 

5. Sarah Milliken^ (1), fourth daughter of Benjamin* (2), was b. in Scarbro, Jan. 
24, 1756; was m. to Capt. Zachary Tarbox of the Biddeford family, and sur- 
vived but one year after her marriage, dying in Ellsworth, Me. Her daughter 
left a manuscript history of that town, now possessed by Mrs. E. C. Milliken of 
Boston, from which some data was copied. 

6. Joseph Milliken^ (2), second son of Benjamin* (2), was b. in Scarbro, Nov. 

10, 1758; m. , and settled in Surry, Me.; but as the early records of that 

town were destroyed by fire, the births of his numerous family of children could 
not be found. There was, however, an old Bible containing such record, and it 
may still be in the possession of his descendants. Advertising in the "Ameri- 
can " of Ellsworth, and diligent search by correspondence, have proved unsuc- 
cessful. Miss Jellison, in her History of Ellsworth, says he married and had "an 
obscure family" in the neighborhood of that town; but we fail to see the appro- 
priateness of her statement, for he had a quiver well filled with sons, whose pos- 
terity, now scattered from their cradle-town to the Pacific slope, are of intelligence 
and good character. His sons were named John, Benjamin, Daniel, Jesse, and 
Dominicus, of whom more with 6th generation. 

7. Elizabeth Milliken* (1), fifth daughter of Benjamin* (4), was b. in Scarbro, 
Dec. 10, 1760, and was the second wife of Capt. Zachary Tarbox, who was 
lost at sea, leaving her with three small children. 

8. Benjamin Milliken^ (4), third son of Benjamin* (2), was b. in Scarbro (?), 
Jan. 9, 1763; m. Lucy Banks, and settled at the mouth of the river below Ells- 
worth. Miss Jellison, in her manuscript history, says his father left two children 
by his second wife at Ellsworth, one of whom was this Benjamin; but he prob- 
ably went to the Province of New Brunswick, for I find record of a grant of land 
to him, of equal date of his father's grant, at St. George, N.B. I have no reason 
to think that he settled there. The old Bible containing his family record — if 
such there was — has been lost sight of; and as the early town registers of Ells- 
worth were destroyed, we cannot find the dates of births, marriages, and deaths. 
He had six sons and five daughters, of whom with 6th generation. 

9. Ellas Milliken'' (1), fourth son of Benjamin* (2), was b. in Scarbro (?), Aug. 
24, 1765; was m. to Mary Patten, of Scotch-Irish extraction, in 1786, when in 
Maine. She d. May 19, 1835. He m. 2d, a Mrs. Dunham, by whom no issue. 
His death occurred June 22, 1846, at the age of 81 years. His early manhood 
was spent in Stetson, Penobscot Co., Me., where he continued his residence 
until 1817, when he removed to Ohio, and thence to Dearborn Co., Ind. He 
was a man of unwearied energy and industry, who braved many dangers and 
passed through many trying experiences in pioneer days in the West. As the 
mediums of communication were inadequate between the East and West at that 
early day, Ehas and his family became isolated from their kindred, and for 
many years were lost sight of, and only vague family traditions existed to guide

vertising through the Western newspapers and an extensive correspondence, the 
family were found, and the records assembled as herein produced. These Milli- 
kens have developed characteristics conspicuous in the Eastern jjranches, and 
have held the confidence and esteem of their fellow-citizens. Elias and Alary 
had thirteen chiklren, of whom with 6th generation. 

ID. Phebe IVIilliken^ (1), fifth daughter of Benjamin^ (2), b. Aug. 30, 1767; was 
m. to Capt. Robert Varden, an Englishman, and went with him to his native 
land, where a daughter was born and christened. They returned to New Bruns- 
wick, however, and settled near her father, at Bocabec, where the old Varden 
mansion stands to-day. The location is known as Varden's Point. Here they 
d. and were buried. A somewhat romantic story is told about this Phebe Milli- 
ken. Her husband was an officer in the British navy during the Revolution, and 
while at Castine became enamored of this daughter of Benjamin Alilliken, 
then living in her father's family there. At one time he went on shore to visit 
her, leaving his vessel in care of a subordinate, and for neglect of duty was 
cashiered and lost his commission. But he proved loyal to his lady-love, and in 
due time became her husband. 

Miss Jellison, in her manuscript history of Ellsworth, calls Airs. Warden 
Eiiplicmia, but that name is not in the family record found in Benjamin Alilli- 
ken's Bible. Others have said Capt. Varden m. Rachel Alilliken, but she was 
not b. until Alay 15, 1775. 

Phebe Alilliken Varden had eleven children, named as follows: 

I. Harriet Childs Varden, b. in London, Eng., Aug. 17, 1784; was m. 
to John Baldwin of St. George, N. B. She was named for an aunt, 
Harriet Childs, who, tradition saith, remarked at the time, "Name 
the child for me, and she shall be my heiress." "The money," con- 
tinues tradition, "was left for this godchild, but she did not receive it." 
She was the mother of three sons and one daughter.

Philadelphia. Returning to Bocabec in 1805, he removed to Little York, now 
Toronto, in Upper Can., and was there engaged in milling. He had charge of 
the first lumber-mills operated in the township of Markham, then known as the 
" German Mills." He afterward purchased a share in a mill at Markham vil- 
lage (then called Reeseville for local families of that name), but soon exchanged 
this property for land designated "Lot number i in Concessional number 5," in 
the county of York and township of Markham, containing two hundred acres.

memory. He was born five years before the inauguration of the first President

TO JACOB MILLIKEN OF SCARBOROUGH, ME., ON HIS ONE 

HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY 

BY MISS INA COOLBRITH. 

To your patriarchal feast 
In our country's farthest East, 
I, a stranger, not a guest, 
Greeting send from farthest West. 

Somewhere, in some far-off line, 
Blood of yours was blood of mine; 
So they say. It matters not; 
Since were we of alien race 
Strange of color, tongue and face, 
Kalmac, Tartar, Hottentot, 
Mongol, Afric, Indian — 
Trace the races he who can — 
White, or black, or red, or brown. 
Safe it is to write it down, 
At the one great FatJier's knee, 
Common children, all, are we. 

So, my Kinsman, health and peace! 
Can I say, "Your years increase," 
When the full threescore and ten 
Meted unto common men — 
Limit of the toil and strife, 
The strange mystery called Life — 
Long your steps have overpast? 
Strange it is our thoughts to cast 
Down a century's long track 
In one lifetime looking back! 

Why! when you first saw the light, 

Scarcely how to wear aright 

Her young freedom — strange and new 

As this world of ours to you — 

Did our maiden nation know. 

You have seen her empire grow, 
Rise of sun to set of sun, 
Lands of fire and lands of snow. 
Gathered, blended, one by one, 
As the light of stars is blent 
In one glorious firmament; — 
Till our timid Princess towers 
Queen above her sister powers. 



POSTERITY OF EDWANP MIl.l.l k'EX. 7r> 

You have seen her fair head bowed 
Thrice beneath a bloody cloud; 
Thrice triumphant, wear the crown 
Of a (ianj^cr l)attlc<l down; 
IMiriic her hands the sword release 
Fur the lil)-blooms of peace. 

Stranger yet — fulfilment bold 

Of that wild, weird vision, told 

By a wizard, burned of old 

For his magic, — name it we 

Rather his true prophecy, — 

You have known; upon the sea 

Sailless, oarlcss, ships to row; 

Carriage without horse to go; 

Man in air to move like bird; 

Air to burn; and uttered word 

At a thousand miles be heard; 

Round the whole great globe a belt 

Like a living pulse be felt; 

Even the sun, — and this is worse, ^ 

Monarch of our Universe, — 

Forced with artist's touch to trace 

Portraits of our mortal race 

Is the age of miracles 

At an end, indeed, when still, 

Day by day, and hour by hour, 

Is unfolded some new power, 

New, and yet as old as Time, 

Waiting for the touch sublime, 

Waiting but the master mind 

To reveal it to mankind ? 

Surely God is with the earth, 

Now, as at her hour of birth; 

Still he walks her gardens wide 

Morning-time and evening-tide; 

Clearly still His mighty word 

By the listening ear is heard. 

Man of years and silver hair, 
Great the honor which you bear 
In the "added length of days" 
He has given. Give Him praise! 

May that vast mysterious Will 
Grant thee added blessings still 
Everv hour that yet is thine 
Link with mortal the divine, 
Till thy hundred years shall be 
Merged into eternity!

the family removed to Parsonsfield, Me., and settled on the hill overlooking the 
present village of Kezar Falls, where he owned a good farm. He was a Quaker 
and a peaceable man, but he did not allow any one to abuse him without decided 
protest, and, if need be, muscular defence, when his contemporaries presumed 
upon his Quaker faith. It is related of him that when " given the lie" in a store 
where he had gone to trade, he drew a chalk-mark across the floor and challenged 
the owner, who had offended him, to step over it if he dared, but prudence saved 
him from a "tanned jacket." "Uncle Rufus" was a good townsman, and 
was held in respect for his uprightness and peaceable disposition. His wife 
died on the farm, and was buried in a small walled enclosure in their field corner.

(addenda). 

I'he early lite of .Mr. Milliken \va.s spent in .Saco where the limited op- 
portunity of an education was well improved. At the age of fifteen he ac- 
cepted a position as clerk in a dry goods store in Saco, with B. F. Hamil- 
ton, remaining three years, thus gaining a knowledge of the mercantile busi- 
ness which cietermined his career in life. 

Ambitious to see the West, when only eighteen years of age he accepted 
a position in Traverse City, Mich., with Hannah, Luy <!v: Co., with whom 
he remained nearly six years, his services being efficient and greatly ap- 
preciated by his employers. 

When not twenty-five years of age he decided to embark in business for 
himself and, today, is proprietor of one of the largest, most reliable and 
tirmly established dry good stores in his section of the state. He is also 
secretary and treasurer and a large stockholder in the Potato Implement 
Company, a manufacturing concern engaged in the construction of all 
kinds of farming implements used in the planting, cultivating, digging and 
crating of potatoes. 

Politically, Mr. Milliken is an uncompromising Rebublican. For a 
number of years he was president of the Business Man's Association. He 
has served on the City Council, and was for several years chairman of the 
County Central Committee. In 1897 he was elected to fill a vacancy, and 
in 1898 he received the nomination for state senator, being elected by a 
large plurality. He completed a successful term, and although amply quali- 
fied and splendidly equipped, wishing to attend to business and home duties, 
he could not be induced to accept another political office. 

Mr. Milliken has always taken a most active interest in the develop- 
ment of the city where he resides. Fair-minded and conscientious, his 
word is always as good as his gold. He can be trusted at all times and in 
all places to do the right. He is esteemed all over the state and numbered 
among her best citizens. Charitable to the extreme, many are the times he 
has reached a helping hand, unknown to others than himself ; this is his 
way of giving. 

He is a regular attendant and a member of the Congregational church. 
For years he has been superintendent of the Sabbath-school comprising a 
membership of nearly seven hundred ; and is now the president of the state 
Sunday-school Association, and has been either vice president or member of 
the executive committee for a number of years. He is also a member of the 
Board of Directors of Olivet College. 

A devoted husband and father he is unusally happy in his home-life, and 
stands before the world a true type of the intellectual, courteous Christian 
gentleman. 

Onti son, /ami's 'J'//(U-^-t-r Al/V/iArf/, in now a student at Olivet College, 
Mich., and is a young man of marked ability, giving ])romise of a bright 
future. See portrait of Mr. Milliken in this book.

called In- the Federals "Antietam," he was taken prisoner, and being severely 
wounded was soon discharged. For more than a year he was on crutches, and 
the etYccts of his wound are seen in his gait to-day. As soon as he could walk 
with a cane he organized a company over which he was elected cajUain, and 
again entered the Confederate Army in 1S64. He was among those taken prison- 
ers by Sherman at Savannah, ancl was confined in the Old Capitol Prison in 
Wasliington. Thence he was removed to Fort Delaware, where he was confined 
until June 19, 1865, after the war had closed, \\hile in prison he was urged 
by his Northern relatives to take the oath of allegiance and gain his freedom, 
but he stub])ornly refused. After his army service closed he returned to his 
agricultural ])ursuits in A])})ling County, and was successful. He owns e.xten- 
si\e tracts of land in Appling and Wayne Counties, and carries on farming on 
an extensive scale. In 1883 he engaged in merchandising in Jesup, Wayne 
Countv, but soon sold out and returned to his farm. He is one of the directors 
of the State E.xperimcnt Farm from the TUeventh Congressional District, and has 
been a life member of the State Agricultural Society for fourteen years. 

He was one of the five justices of the Inferior Court of Appling County, and 
served until the courts were abolished in the State of Georgia, and Boards of 
County Commissioners established in lieu of them. He was a member of the 
first Board of County Commissioners for Appling County. Also county school 
commissioner. \\'as chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of his 
county, and subsequently held the same position in AAayne County. Was a 
member of the Popuhst Executive Committee of Wayne County, and member 
of the Populist State Executive Committee from tb.e Eleventh Congressional 
District. Also delegate to several congressional and gubernatorial conventions 
in the Democratic and Populist parties. Received the unanimous nomination 
for Congress, and ran, in i8g6, on Popuhst ticket, ^^'as nominated and made a 
race on State ticket for Comptroller-General in 1898, on Populist ticket. Town 
Treasurer for Jesup, Ga., in 1899. Member and President of Boards of Educa- 
tion in Appling County, and same, later, in Wayne County. Was first Presi- 
dent of the Board of Education of pubhc school system of Jesup, Ga., and mem- 
ber of the Board of Aldermen of the same town. 

He would always keep a school going in his community, and often employed 
the teachers, and took chances of getting their pay from patrons. He established 
a school for girls in Jesup, known as "The Milliken Girls' School," which was 
a success. 

Formerly a Democrat, as were his father and grandfather, in 1S94 he became 
a Populist, both as an individual and as proprietor and editor of the Jesup 
Sentinel. His abihty as a writer is of the first order, and his editorials are clear 
and caustic. As a business man he has few equals. Strong politically, he is 
considered to be a rising light who will yet succeed to a higher station as a rep- 
resentati\-e of his fellow-citizens. As a man he holds the respect of his com- 
munity. Few men have been more successful where pure grit and industry 
were the essential factors to be considered than Captain MiUiken.

CHILBREN OF BENJAMIN AND ■WIVES. 

I. Col. Edwin Chapin Milliken^ (3), eldest son of Benjamin" (8), was b. in 
Bridgton, Me., Feb. 28, 1851. He received his education in the common schools 
of his native town. On Mar. 25, 1864, when but 13 years of age, he enHsted in 
Company H, 3 2d Maine Volunteer Infantry, his father being a member of the 
same command. He served in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold 
Harbor, Gaines' Mill, and Tolopotomy Creek. On July 30th his regiment led 
the charge into the crater of the exploded mine where so many men lost their 
lives. His next engagement, fought at Pegram Farm, near Petersburg, Sept. 
30th, was followed by the battle at Hatcher's Run, and the South Side Railroad 
combats. After that he was engaged in garrison duty at Fort Welch and Fort 
Davis, the latter being near to the famous Fort Hell in front of Petersburg. On 
Dec. 12, 1864, his regiment was united with the 31st Maine, both having been 
badly depleted, and was subsequently known by that designation. On Apr. 2, 
1865, he participated in the final capture of Petersburg, passing through in 
pursuit of General Lee. On arriving at Nottoway Courthouse, his regiment, 
with two others of the brigade, was detailed as a guard escort to Sutherland 
Station for Generals Ewell and De Hoe, and other rebel officers, besides eight 
thousand troops, all of whom General Sheridan had captured a few days previ- 
ously. After this service the regiment made a forced march to Berksville Junc- 
tion, and was present at the surrender of General Lee. He soon after returned 
with the regiment to City Point, and thence went by steamer to Alexandria, and 
participated in the Grand Review at Washington. He received an honorable 
discharge July 15, 1865, after seventeen months of service, much of which was 
spent in the din of battles, and during which, though but fourteen years and four 
months of age at his dismissal, he carried the foot-soldier's regular equipment. 

Soon after his return to Bridgton he learned the trade of loom-fixer in a woollen 
factory. In 1869 he took a position in Portland with F. & C. B. Nash, as sales- 
man and bookkeeper, where he continued until Jan., 1893, nearly twenty-five 
years. He was then appointed State Pension Agent, and holds the position at 
this writing, Oct., 1904, having his office at Augusta. 

Col. Milliken is a stanch Republican, and has served the city of Portland as 
warden. He is connected with various social organizations. Since 1869 he 
has been a member of Bosworth Post, Grand Army of the Repubhc, of which 
he was chosen Sergeant-Major in 1874, holding the office four years. He was 
then made Adjutant of the Post, and was continued such till Jan. i, 1896, when 
he was elected Commander. He was appointed Assistant-Adjutant-General of 
the Department of Maine, in Feb. 1887, and held that office up to and in- 
cluding 1 89 1. He was also a member of the National Council of Administra- 
tion, and assistant-inspector-general, attending the National Encampments for 
many years. He is both a veteran and the son of a veteran, and belongs to both 
organizations. For many years he was connected with the National Guard of 
Maine as Second Lieutenant of Co. B, in ist Regiment, afterwards as First 
Lieutenant and Adjutant,''serving until 1887, when other duties made it neces- 
sary to resign. He was elected Department Commander G. A. R. for Maine, 
in 1904.

June 10, 1733; m. Esther Harmon, Mar. 29, 1753, and settled on the farm in

fied with the Union River settlement but have no evidence of his moving his 
family there. He had issue thirteen children, of whom with the 5th generation. 

2. Nathaniel MiUiken^ (2), second son of NathanieP (1), b. in Scarbro, Me.,

25, 1739; m. Dec. 19, 1760, Lucy Lihby of same town. She was a daughter 
of her step-mother by her first hu.sband, " Tnmipeter 'Siah." This Thomas lived 
on the west side of Beech Ridge, in Scarbro. Was one of the grantees on Union 
River, but as his cousin of the same name was also a prominent grantee, I can- 
nf)t tell which lot was drawn by him. He had children b. in Scarbro. 

6. Stephen MiUiken" (1), si.xth son of Nathaniel^ (1), b. in Scarbro, Me., Jan. 
II, 1 74 1. I cannot find any record of marriage or of children, and he may have

* From an old letter •n-ritten in New York, I learn that Sylvan us Scott was an English- 
man who was impressed on a British man-of-war, and while the ship was lying at anchor in 
Portsmouth Harbor, he escaped to the shore in the night by swimming, and avoided discovery 
till the ship sailed. The early Portsmouth records show that he married Sarah Moses and

tled in Scarborough, and subsequently, in 1764, removed to Machias, Me. The wife of

NOTES ON DUNSTAN. 

Deposition of J.\mes Springer of Georgetown, County of Lincoln, 
aged seventy-two years, testifies and says, that he came to Scarbro in 1728, and 
that he lived there a])out ten years, and that he was well acquainted with the 
tract of land called Alger's Claim, and that Edward Milliken, Samuel Milliken 
and Nathaniel ■Milliken lived on said Tract of Land at that time, and in the year 
1730, he, the Deponent, was with Mr. John Jones, Surveyor, when he ran out 
said land, and he began at the Head of Said Claim which was at the Crotch on 
the Nonesuch River, above the bridge, near the great hill called Joshn's Hill, 
and that he, the said Jones, run from the aforesaid Crotch southwest and came 
out about sixty rods above the uppermost falls on Dunstan River, so called, 
and that he always understood by the general Talk of the people there that the 
aforesaid Hne was the Head Line of said claim, find that he has seen the tide 
flow up to the said Crotch and has carry'd pine timber down said river from above 
the bridge where it now stands, about thirty feet long and from 12 to 17 inches 
square, and the said ISIillikens claimed the said Land as theirs and descendants 
of the said Algers at that time and that about the same time he, the Dej)onent, 
helped to build a bridge over said River where it now stands in the road lead- 
ing over said great Hill called Joslin's. James Springer. 

. Falmouth, July 13, 1770. 

On a plan of Dunstan of date 1784, we see that " Jona " Milliken's residence, 
a building of one story, was situated a little westerly of the road that turns north- 
erly from the way from Stroudwater to Dunstan and easterly of Dunstan Corner. 

Westerlv of "Stickey Meadow Brook," on the northerly side of the same 
way, going westerly, was the residence of Nathaniel Milliken, a house of two 
stories. West of this was the two-storied house of Edward MilHken. 

In a southeasterly corner made by the main highway to Dunstan Landing 
was the one-storied house of Samuel ]\Iilliken. 

The residence of Joseph MiUiken, a house of two stories at the front and 
one story at the backside, was on the westerly side of the Landing and river 
fronting eastward. This was many years a tavern, and Joseph Milliken the 
landlord, and here pubhc meetings were held as well as many an okltime " spree" 
witnessed when the "ropes were wet." 

Land in Dunstan. 

On July 30th. 1720, a lot of land was laid out at Dunstan for Thomas Mason 
by virtue of a warrant of date June 2 2d of that year, consisting of one hundred 
acres, the line beginning at the Dam on ye Brook by Capt. Westbrook's mast 
house at Dunstan, ye west side of said brook, and running by ye brook to the 
marsh yn crosses ve brook by the upland to ye river and yn up at ye riversiflc to

a pitchpine tree standing by ye river, and then Running west south west one 
hundred and twenty poles, and then Running norwest a hundred and twenty 
poles, and then Running north east one hundred and twenty poles, and so to 
ye first corner bounds, laid out by Hezekiah Phillips, Lot Layer. Signed by 
Edward Ward, clerk. 

MiLLiKEN Deed. 
" To all People unto whom these Presents shall come I, Jane Davis of Boston 
in the County of Suffolk & Province of Massachusetts Bay in New England, 
widow, late wife and Relict of Andrew Alger Jr., late of Casco Bay, now named 
Falmouth, in the aforesaid Province, deceased, And Matthew Collins of Boston 
aforesaid, Vitualler, & Dorcas his wife, which said Dorcas is the only surviving 
child of the said Andrew Alger — Know ye that we, Jane Davis & Matthew & 
Dorcas Collins, for & in consideration of Thirty Pounds in money to us in hand

Land Lease. 

" I John Milliken having ninety acres of upland lying and being in Dunstan, 
in the township of Scarborough, in the county of York, which my father, Mr. 
John Milliken, lived upon about four years since, I do now let it to Mr. Robert 
Munson for one year to be completed from the date hereof which will end in the 
year 1727, (dated) Boston July ye 6'^ 1726." 

Power of Attorney. 
" I EUzabeth Milliken of Scarborough in the county of York & Province of 
Massachusetts Bay in New England, widow. Relict of Mr. John Milliken De- 
ceased, do constitute my two sons, viz., John Milliken Saddler, and Edward Mil- 
liken Gentlemen, both of Scarborough aforesaid, my Attorneys in all cases 
moved and to be moved for or against me," & Co. & Co., July, a.d. 1749. 
This document proves that John Milliken Sr. died previous to the date given. 

The Milliken Covenant. 

Note. — The "Milliken Covenant," so-called, may be characterized as a 
genealogical document. It is not often that the most keen-scented searcher is 
so fortunate as to find such an assembly of names of members and relatives of 
one family recorded, and at the same time in such order of sequence as appears 
in this old instrument. Some have assumed that this Covenant contains the 
names of all descendants of John Milliken, Senior, who were living at that 
time. This is hardly creditable when we know that the names of five of his 
sons, recorded in the registers of a Boston church, are not found in the Covenant, 
nor of any of their heirs, — if such were living. There is no record of the deaths 
of those five sons known to exist in Boston, and there are now numerous families 
living supposed to be descended from them. 

" This Covenant & agreement made this thirteenth day of March seventeen 
hundred and ninety-two, by and between Nathaniel Milhken Gentleman, Jona- 
than MiUiken Yeoman, John Alger Milliken Gentleman, James Milliken Yeo- 
man, Simeon Fitts yeoman, Natural Guardian to Eunice Fitts who was a grand- 
daughter of the late Samuel Milliken aforesaid; Joseph Hodgdon, and Sarah

From a bundle of old documents discovered in an ancient-looking hair-

CAPT. ALEXANDER MILLIKEN'S PROCLAMATION. 

Whereas, Sir John Sherbrooke did by proclamation capture all that part of 
the district of Maine lying betwixt the Penobscot and St. Croix Rivers for and 
in behalf of his Majesty the King of Great Britain, I do by all the power in me 
vested, acclaim it recaptured for and in behalf of the United States of America. 
And the subjects thereof having again become citizens are hereby ordered to 
conduct themselves accordingly. 

And Whereas it has been customary for British officers to declare large ex- 
tent of sea coast in a state of blockade without a sufficient force to enforce such 
blockade. I do by my power as aforesaid, declare all the ports, harbors, rivers, 
bays and inlets from the river Penobscot, to the river St. Croix in a rigorous 
state of blockade, having under my command a sufficient power to enforce the 
same, and the officers under mv command are herebv ordered to govern them- 
selves accordingly.

Alexander Milliken was appointed deputy postmaster at Frankfort, Hancock 
County, Maine District, by Gideon Granger, Postmaster General of the United 
States, in 1808. In 1810, he was appointed a justice of the peace for seven 
years "if he shall so long behave himself well in said office." This commission 
was signed by Elbridge Gerry, Governor of Massachusetts. In 181 2, he was

sions. In 1814, he was appointed by James Madison to be principal assessor 
for the second district of Massachusetts; in 18 18 to be justice of the peace for 
Hancock County, and again in 1822, and a notary public in 1834. 

MILLIKENS WHOSE CONNECTION IS NOT KNOWN. 

Abigail Milliken born in Boston, Mass., April 3, 1757, was married to Benja- 
min Chipman 2d7 who was born Feb. 4, 1752, in Kingston, Mass. They 



SCARBOROUGJJ MJlJJk'EA'S — iUPJ'LEMENT. \\)\ 

moved from Taunton. Mass., to Poland, Me., in April, 1779, and he died there 
June 18, 1838. His wife died there A])ril 3, 1825. Both were buried in Poland. 
They had seven children named Charles, Abigail, Lucy, James, Lydia, Sarah 
and Wadsworth and their descendants are now numerous. I have not learned 
whose daughter this Aljigail Milliken was, but this record proves that there were 
families of the name in Boston not descended from the brothers who settled in 
Scarbro. She must ha\e been a relative of these, however. 
Abigail Milliken was born in Scarbro, Me., Aug. 15, 1785; was published Oct. 
I, 1803, to marry Benj.amin Foss, Jr., son of Benjamin and Mary Foss, born in 
Saco, Me., July 3, 1780, and had children born in Saco, named as follows: 

1. Bartlett Foss, b. Aug. 9, 1804; m. Mary Ann Waterhouse of Scarbro 
(Int.), May 7, 1827. 

2. AIary H. Foss, b. Apr. i, 1807; m. Joseph S. Berry of Scarbro (Ind.), 
Mar. r6, 1830. 

3. Catherine H. Foss, b. Aug. i, 1809. 

I have not made connections between this Abigail and her parents; nor of 
Abigail Norman Milliken who was married June 13, 1792, to John Babb. 
Mary Milliken, born about 1758, was the second wife of John Fenderson of 
Parsonstield, Me., and died there Aug. 29, 1851, aged 97 years. Fenderson's 
first wife was Sarah McKenney of Scarbro.

Robert Mulliken^ was a Scotchman, and tradition makes him come from (das- 
gow. Me i)rol)al)ly sailed from that port, but from the s])ening of his surname, 
it would seem that he was a native of some one of the northern counties. His 
name appears on the Brattle Street Church records of Boston in connection with 
others of the family as early as 1686. He settled in Rowley, now Bradford, 
Mass., his homestead being in a pleasant spot on the bank of the Merrimac 
River. He united with the West Parish Church of Bradford, Mass., June 26, 
1720, and the following exclamation was written after the entry of his name in 
the records: "To God shall be all the glory." Following the name of his wife, 
who united with the church the first of May that year, are the Latin words: 
Trinni Deo Glorica. Some of his children were born and christened in Boston, 
as the Brattle Street Church records show. He made his will Jan. 9, 1740, and 
died June 11, 1741, leaving a widow and fiive children, to whom he made bequests. 
He was 76 years of age. The old gravestones that mark the last earthly resting- 
place of the ancestors and early members of this family, may be seen in the old 
West Bradford cemetery, on the River Road, about one mile below the bridge 
which connects Haverhill with Bradford, and in the East Parish (now Grove- 
land) burying ground, near " Balch's Grove." The inscription on the grave- 
stone is as follows: 

"HERE LIES THE BODY OF ROBERT MULLTCKEN' 
WHO DIED JUNE 11, 1741, 
IN THE 76 YEAR OF HIS .'\GE." 

In his will he gave his son Robert his "loom and tackle for weaving," and it is 
my opinion that he was a Scotch weaver. He was also said to have been a maker 
of gravestones.* Robert Mulliken was the father, by his wife named Rebecca, 
of nine children, of whom hereafter.

1. Robert Mulliken' (2), eldest son of Robert^ (1), and Rebecca, was born in 
Boston, Mass., Dec. 9, 1686, and the record of this event is in the Brattle Street 
Church register. He was married Oct. 4, 1737, to Mary Hartbath, widow, 
who had a daughter Mary by her first husband and she took the name of Mulli- 
ken. It will be seen that this Robert was 51 years of age when his marriage 
occurred, and he probably had been married before and had issue by his first 
wife. This would account for the existence of famiUes of the name living con- 
temporary with him, whose connections were not known. He settled on his 
father's homestead on the bank of the Merrimac, in Rowley, now Bradford. 
Was appointed executor of his father's will, made Jan. 9, 1740. Was to main- 
tain his mother both in sickness and in health during her natural Hfe, and give 
her a decent burial at her decease. His father gives him, in addition to his home- 
stead, six acres of land lying in Bradford in a place called " Dismal hole." Be- 
queaths to this son, his "loom and tackling for weaving." This Robert Mulli- 
ken died June 16, 1756, only 14 years after his father. He had no less than six 
children, of whom with 3d generation. 

2. John Mulliken^ (1), second son of Robert^ (1), was b. in Boston, Mass., 
Jan. 26, 1790; m. for his first wife, Nov. 15, 1717, Mary Poore of Newbury, 
daughter of Edward and Ehzabcth (Swett), who with him was admitted to the 
church in Bradford, Mass., March, 17 19. She d. Jan. i8, 1728. His second 
wife was Sarah Griffin, to whom he was m. Jan. 29, 1732-3. He was a 
blacksmith and lived on an island in the Merrimac River, near his father's home- 
stead. He d. Nov. 10, 1737. Was mentioned in connection with his children, 
as deceased in his father's will, Jan. 9, 1740. Dec. 7, 1709, "John Mulekin" 
was one of fifteen men, of Haverhill, to whom it was voted to give liberty "to 
build a seat to sit in, in the hind seat of the meeting-house, in the west gallery, 
they promising that they would not build so high as to damnify the light of them 
windows at the said west end of the said west gallery, jirovided they make up 
the number of twenty persons to sit in said seat." 

There were nine children. See 3d generation.

3. Mary Mulliken" (1), eldest daughter of Robert^ (1), b. Boston, Mass., Sept. 
26, 1692; was m. June 19, 1716, to Thomas Stickney. She was mentioned in 
her father's will in 1740, as "late of Bradford, deceased." Her children were 
to have the household goods of their grandfather. 

4. Samuel Mulliken" (1), third son of Robert^ (1), b. in Bradford, Mass. (pre- 
sumably), Jan. ID, 1694 — one searcher has it June 20, 1695 — and d. unm. 
in 1720. His estate was administered by his brother Robert, May 18, 1721. 
All went to his brothers and sisters, and no widow appeared with dower right 
to sell or hold. The heirs sign receipt. Mentions brother Benjamin, John, 
Mary and husband Thomas Stickney, and sister Rebecca, who, immediately 
after became the wife of Benjamin Gage. 

5. Benjamin MuUikin" (1), fourth son of Robert^ (1), b. in Bradford, Mass.,

now Bradford, Mass. He was a justice of the peace and captain of the first 
foot company of Bradford, Apr. 18, 1757. The following quaint record was 
found: "February 3, 1762, To Benjamin Mulliken Esq., for the use of Meribah 
Stickney (his nephew's widow) the sum of ;^2, allowed by the General Court 
for the loss of her husband's gun, he being a soldier 1758, and died on his return 
home as mentioned in her petition." Benjamin was the father of ten children. 
See 3d generation.

bills of credit to be paid by his executor two years after his death — " besides 
what I have already given her."

7. Joseph MuUiken" (1), fifth son of Robert' (Ij, b. in Bradford, Mass., I'eb. i, 
1703, m. Jan. 7, 1736, Phebe Tyler. His name appears on the Hst of poU.s 
of Haverhill, Mass., in 1745. Was mentioned in his father's will in 1740, and 
received gift of "six acres of land in addition to what had already been given 
him, and £'6o in bills of credit passable in this province." He had issue. See 
3d generation. 

8. Ebenezer MuUiken^ (1), sixth son of Robert' (1), b. in Bradford, Mass., 
Feb. 26, 1705; d. Dec. 10, 1714. 

9. Jonathan Mulliken^ (1), a son of Robert' (1) and Rebecca Milliken of Brad- 
ford. No record of his birth is known to e.xist, but it must have been as early 
as 1 710 or 1715. He m. in 1742, Martha Marsh, and Hved in Bradford for 
some time, where he worked at his trade of clockmaking. Here Samuel Mulliken 
of Newburyport, clockmaker, and Xathaiu'el Mulliken of Lexington, clock- 
maker, served an apprenticeship with their "uncle Jonathan." The late 
Emery A. Mulliken of Lexington, Mass., found an old tall clock in that 
town, on the dialplate of which were the words: "Jonathan Mulliken, Fal- 
mouth." The owners of this venerable timepiece had assumed that it was 
made in Falmouth, Eng. As no record of a clockmaker of this name has been 
found in Falmouth, Me., it is highly probable that this Jonathan Mulliken was 
at one time, say as early as 1750, establi>hed in Falmouth, Barnstable Co., 
]Mass. x\t any rate he was maker of the old clock in Lexington, which is evi- 
dently the same that was sold to Deacon Stone and set up by Nathaniel Mulli- 
ken when he first formed an acquaintance with the maiden who became his 
wife. No record has been found in Bradford, or any adjoining town, of a family, 
or of the deaths of this Jonathan and his wife, and they probably spent their 
last days elsewhere.

CHTKDREN OF ROBERT ANI> MARY HARTBATH. 

1. Hannah Mulliken^ (1), eldest daughter of Robert" (2), was baptized when 
six days old, July 30, 1738, in Bradford, Mass. 

2. Mary Mulliken^ (2), second daughter of Robert' (2), b. Jan. 30, 1739; bap- 
tized June 6, 1740; d. Feb. 9, 1800, in Bradford, Ma.ss. 

3. Robert Mulliken^ (3), eldest son of Robert" (2), b. in 1741, in Bradford, Mass. 

4- Daniel Mulliken^ (1), second son of Robert^ (2), b. Dec. 22, 1743, in Brad- 
ford, ^Lass. He was a soldier in the French war. In the roll of men from 
Haverhill for the reduction of Canada, in 1760, appears the name of Daniel 
MuUiken. He was also a soldier of the Revolution, and received a badge for 
more than si.x years of faithful service. There is an old house in Groveland, 
Mass., formerly liradford, said to have been built bv this man. I assume that 
he married and had issue. 

5. Ebenezer Mulliken (2), third son of Robert- (2), b. in Bradford, Mass., 
Nov. 22, 1745; m, Elizabeth Nixon of that town, and d. 1786. 

6. Sarah Mulliken^ (1), third daughter of Robert^ (2), b. in Bradford, ^Lass., 
Jan. 20, 1748. 

CHILDREN OF JOHN AND MART POORE. 

I. Samuel MuUiken' (2), eldest son of John^ (1), b. in Bradford, Mass., June 
12, 1720; m. Sarah Kelly, descended from John Kelly, who came to Newbury, 
Mass., in 1635. Mr. Mulliken d. in 1752. He and his wife were admitted 



198 MLLLIKENS OF BA'ADfORD, MASS. 

members of the West Parish Church in Bradford, Jan. 14, 1740. Sarah, his 
widow, was m. Aug. 8, 1757, to Capt. Timothy Pike. She d. May 7, 1799, 
aged 83 years, and her gravestone on Burial Hill bears this inscription: "The 
sweet remembrance of the just shall flourish when he sleeps." She was a 
woman of amiable disposition and carefully brought up the son of her first 
husband. Samuel MuUiken must have settled in Bradford at the time of his 
marriage, and remained there for some years. He was known to have worked 
there at clockmaking with his uncle Jonathan MuUiken, and may have learned 
his trade of liim. He was also a clockmaker in Newburyport, and the Inventory 
taken in 1756, shows that his shop was "on others lands." His house was on 
State Street, near the old Tracy house, now the Public Library. A fine speci- 
men of his clocks is now owned in Bradford; another was on exhibition at the 
World's Fair in Chicago. Children's names with 4th generation.

2. Nathaniel iVIulliken-'' (1), second son of John" (1), b. in Bradford, Mass., 
Aug. 8, 1722; m. June 6 1751, Lydia Stone, daughter of Deacon Stone of Lex- 
ington, Mass. Here is the bit of romance. It was customary for clockmakers 
at that time to go out and "set up" the timepieces they had sold. In 1748, 
Nathaniel went out to Lexington to deliver and start one of his tall clocks in the 
house of Deacon Stone, and there met charming Lydia and was entangled in 
love's silken net. He purchased land with house, barn, and. shop thereon, in 
Lexington, and made that his permanent residence. The shop found on the 
estate was fitted with the suital)le ai)pliances and tools for clockmaking, and 
Mr. Mulliken continued to manufacture these stately, solemn-sounding time- 
keepers until his death. The clock set up at Deacon Stone's is still in Lexing- 
ton, and bears the name "Jonathan Mulliken, Falmouth.'' As Jonathan Mulli- 
ken, son of Samuel of Newl)uryport, was not b. until 1747, and was but one 
year old when the clock was carried to Lexington in 1748, he could not have 
been the maker. The late Emery A. Mulliken of Lexington, who had given the 
subject much attention, informed the compiler of this volume by letter, of date 
"Feb. 8, 1895," that Jonathan Mulliken, clockmaker in Bradford, Mass., was 
an uncle of Nathaniel and Samuel, and that they learned their trade with him. 
If this statement be true, then Robert Mulliken ist had a son Jonathan of whom 
we have no record. But why should this old clock in Lexington bear the name 
of "Falmouth"? Careful research among early Maine documents fails to re- 
veal any clockmaker in Falmouth, now Portland, in that state. Was it made 
in Falmouth, Barnstable Co., Mass.? The present owners of this old clock 
had supposed it was made in Falmouth, Eng., but Emery A. Mulliken Escj., 
had traced its history "through its former owners, who were direct ancestors, 
to within one or two generations of where my grandfather left the clock and I 
feel pretty sure that it is the same one." From a note published in the Boston 



200 MULLIKENS OF BRADFORD, MASS. 

Transcript, we learn that a clock made by Nathaniel MuUiken, was owned by 
T. Osgood Wardwell, of North Andover, Mass. The name of Nathaniel Mul- 
Uken and Lexington, his place of residence, were inscribed in "a silver band of 
crecent form" on the dials of his clocks. He d. Nov. 23, 1767, and his widow 
was living in his house at the time of the British retreat in Lexington, Apr. 19, 
1775, when they set fire to the buildings and stood by until their work of de- 
struction was consummated. Emery A. Mulhken, Esq., said his father's farm 
was a part of Nathaniel's homestead, and that from a boy he had been constantly 
reminded of British vandalism by the old cellar-hole over which they burned 
the Mulliken house. There were seven children. See 4th generation.

CHIIiDREN OF JONATHAN AND SUSANNA PEARSON. 

I. Samuel Mulliken'^ (4), eldest son of Jonathan* (2), and Susanna Pearson, 
b. in Newburyport, Mass., 1769; m. Phebe Parsons May 31, 1798, she being 
the granddaughter of Rev. Jonathan Parsons, founder of the Old South Church 
in Newburyport, and the warm friend of Rev. George Whitefield, the celebrated 
evangelist, who d. at his house. Mr. Mulliken had a shop in Hallowell, Me., 
a short time, but returned to Newburyport and remained there the rest of his 
life. He was known for many years as cashier of the old Newburyport Bank 
and of the Merchants' Bank. He served in these two institutions more than 
40 years, having resigned his ofhce in 1851, at the age of 82; and was probably 
the oldest bank official in regular, active service, in the country at that time. 
Samuel MuUiken's recollections went back to the early history of the Revolu- 
tion. The battles of Lexington, and Bunker Hill, the " Ipswich Alarm," the 
encampment and embarkation at Newburyport, of Arnold's expedition, and all 
the principal events and prominent actors of that period and of our whole Revo- 
lutionary liistory, w^ere fresh in his memory. The Daltons, the Tracys, the 
Jacksons, the Greenleafs, the Johnsons, Parsons, Bradburys, etc., of New- 
buryport, were within his personal knowledge, and were, many of them, his 
contemporaries and associates. When a pilgrim pursues a long journey without 
stumbhng, he becomes from that very circumstance worthy of double respect. 
We looked on his age as we do on the autumnal flowers, which continue to bloom 
when the frost has withered all around them. Life is beset with temptations, 
and the man that has been sober in youth, and cheerful in age, and honest in 
all his connections, leaves us a beautiful example. Such was this venerable 
and respected citizen. His integrity, his temperance, his uniformity, his won- 
derful art of making life calmly pleasant, are worthy of careful imitation and 
remembrance. It is not enough to speak of his integrity; there was a pecuUar 
security which every one felt in every trust committed to his hand. For him to 
depart from integrity was as httle to be expected as a deviation in one of the 
great laws of nature. His principles were founded on religion and, therefore, 
they were immovable. He had cultivated his mind; he had guarded his heart; 
he had bowed to the authority of God. In the parlor, at the desk, in the walk, 
he was the agreeable companion. He was a close observer of events and men, 
and hence his conversation had all the charms of a colloquial history. No- 
where did he shine more than at his own fireside, surrounded by the smiles of 
his affectionate household. [Adapted from an obituary notice by the Rev. Leon- 
ard Withington, D.D.] He had issue, eleven children. See 6th generation.

Sandwich, Mass., a descendant of Thomas Gibbs, and, on the maternal side, 
of Edmund Freeman, both prominent in the settlement of Sandwich. Mr. 
Mulliken d. at his home on High Street, Newbur}TDort, in the house where he 
was b., Dec. 23, 1903. As soon as he left the city High School he embarked 
on a vessel manned by Newbur}^ort officers, and showed such efficiency as a 
seaman that his promotion was rapid. As a captain he made many voyages 
to all parts of the world, holding the confidence of shipowners in his great skill 
as a navigator, and in his sturdy integrity and honor in the transaction of all 
business entrusted to him. He went around Cape Horn during the exciting 
days of the gold fever in 1849. For a number of years he carried passengers 
from the United States and Antwerp, and during the Civil War ran between 
Calcutta and England, always flying the American flag. During his long career 
as master mariner no serious accident ever happened to a vessel under his 
command. Capt. Mulliken gave up his seafaring life in 1876, and has since 
Uved in comparative retirement. He was for many years curator of the 
Marine Society's building in Newburyport. and was daily at his post in the Marine 
rooms with unimpaired health until venerable in years. He had long been a 
member of the First Church in Newbury, where, from childhood, he had been 
a constant attendant when at home. No man in the community commanded 
more respect within the circle of his acquaintance than Captain Mulliken. 
]Modest, almost to a fault, entirely unassuming, yet one of the bravest of men 
and the most firm in his convictions. He was a kindly man, beloved wherever 
known; a man of superior inteUigence, whose knowledge of men by the observa- 
tion of many voyages, was supplemented by wide reading, so that his conversa- 
tion was dehghtful. His death was that of a venerable citizen, a brave and skill- 
ful seaman, an honorable man of the highest integrity in all his dealings, a man 
too modest to seek for preferment or distinction but possessed of the ability to

hibited the beautiful characteristics of the Christian gentleman.

[BRADFORD FAMILY.] 

John MuUiken^, whose parents are not certainly known but who was born in 
Bradford, Mass., as early as 1735-8, was married June 15, 1758, to Susanna 
HusE, and they are both styled in the records "of Haverhill." She died Mar. 
I, 1S20. The statement "John the husband died," stands on record, but no 
dates are given. These had a family of nine children born in Haverhill, Mass., 
whose names and wliat we know of their posterity will follow: 

Jfouvtb cOcncvation. 

CHILDREN OF JOHN AND SUSANNA HUSE. 

1. Stephen MuUiken^ (1), eldest son of John'^ (1), and Susanna Huse, b. in 
Haverhill, Mass., Nov. 7, 1759; d. there July 13, 1763. 

2. Samuel Mulliken^ (1), second son of John^ (1), and Susanna Huse, was b. 
in Haverhill, Mass., Sept. 22, 1761, and was three times married. His first 
wife was Susanna Pearson, widow of Jonathan Mulliken, of Newburvport, 
Mass., to whom he was married Mar. 20, 1783. He had worked with her first 
husband as a clockmaker and may have learned the trade of him. By this 
woman, who was several years his senior, and who was said to have died in 
Lynn, Mass., with yellow fever, he had i-ssue three children. He was m. 2d, 
in Salem, Mass., Apr. 19, 1789, to Sally Newhall of that town, daughter of 
Col. Ezra Newhall of the Revolution, by whom there were eight children. He 
was m. in Salem, Mass., May 8, 1819, to Miss Lydia Sanderson. Mr. Mulli- 
ken lived for several years in Salem, Mass., where he worked at his trade of 
watchmaker, but, later, removed to Lynn, Mass., where he remained till his 
death, which occurred Nov. 25, 1847. ^^i"- Mulliken did a large business, for 
many year?, as a tanner and merchant, at one time having a large store at the 
southern end of Market Street. He was a man of strict integrity and great 
industry. He had a strong will, which being usually set in the right direction, 
stood him in good stead. He once related an instance of its operation which 
seems more amusing than beneficial. During the active portion of his life, it 
was a custom, as public conveyances were few, for a couple of business men to 
Aisit Boston in company, one to pay for the horse and vehicle, and the other 
paying the tolls and horse keeping. One chilly November day, he and Jere- 
miah Bullfinch, a neighbor, agreed to visit Boston in that partnership way. 
Mr. Bullfinch was to furnish the conveyance, and Mr. Mulliken to pay expenses. 
WTien they arrived at Charlestown, which was early in the forenoon, they found 



222 



MULLIKENS OF BRADFORD, MASS. 



that an additional toll, or some other charge, to the amount of sixpence, on which 
neither had calculated, had been levied. Mr. MuUiken contended that the 
extra charge should be equally shared; but Mr. Bullfinch declared that none 
of it rightfully fell to him. They were equally matched for stubbornness and 
there they sat, disputing and arguing, till the declining sun warned them that 
it was time their horse's head was turned homeward; and home they rode, each 
undoubtedly congratulating himself on his triumph, "and," added Mr. MuUi- 
ken, as he related the incident, his countenance radiating with the old fire within, 
though he was more than 80 years of age, " I would have sat there till this time 
before I would have paid it." — {History oj Lynn, by Alonzo Lewis.) Mr. 
MuUiken had issue, by two wives, eleven children. (See 5th generation.) 

3. Susanna Muliiken* (1), eldest daughter of John (1), b. in Haverhill, Mass., 
Jan. 26, 1764; d. May 12, 1766.

CHIIJJREN OF SAMUEL, AND SUSANNA PEARSONS. 

1. Jonathan MuUiken^ (1), eldest son of Samuel^ (1), b. in Newburyport, Mass., 
May 26, 1784, and d. in Lynn, Mass., Nov. 12, 1867, aged 83 years, 5 months 
and 17 days, unm. Shoemaker. He was considered somewhat eccentric. He

well, Me., when a young man, and there m. between Mar. 25th and Apr., 1824, 
Eliz.^beth Smart, who d. in i860, aged 50 years. The family settled in 
Augusta, Me., in 1S45, and Mr. Mulliken was a director in the Freeman's Na- 
tional Bank there for many years. He was a man of retiring habits, never wish- 
ing to be conspicuous, and a real " home body." He was famihar with all cur- 
rent events; not a great talker, but a tireless reader. He was also a director for 
a railroad. He did an extensive business, always paid in full, and was respected 
by his fellow-citizens and beloved by his family. Always voted the Whig or 
Republican tickets, believing that the best results come from the government 
by that party. He was 89 years of age at his death. There were seven chil- 
dren, named as follows: 

I. George S. Mulliken®, a lawyer and judge, d. in San Antonio, Texas, 
where he had been associated with his brother in business. 

n. Charles Henry Mulliken®, b. in Hallowell, Me., on Mar. 18, 183 1; 
m. Dec. 3, 1851, Miss Sarah E. Hallett, daughter of Watson F. 
Hallett of Augusta, Me. He was educated in Augusta, Me., until eigh- 
teen years of age. He then went to Boston, where he secured a situation 
in a merchandise broker's office, in which he spent three years. Return- 
ing to x\ugusta, he started in business on his own account, as a member 
of the firm of Davis & Mulliken, and was thus engaged for seven years. 
He was president of the Freeman's National Bank in Augusta for about 
40 years. His next venture was in the southern commission trade, 
founding the house of Means & Mulliken, with headquarters at Boston. 
They estabUshed a line of packets between that city and Indianola, 
Texas, having also a store at San Antonio, where a brother of Mr. Mul- 
liken was located in charge. The firm did a thriving business until the 
breaking out of the late Civil War, which brought, as a rule, speedy 
ruin upon all Northern men who had business enterprises in the South. 
Their stock of goods, valued at nearly $50,000, was seized by the Con- 
federate government and confiscated. Mr. Means, on hearing of the 
calamity which had befallen them, went South to see what could be 
done toward retrieving their los-ses. He was at once arrested at San 
Antonio, and sent to Matamoras under guard, where he escaped to 
Mexico, and afterward got to New Orleans, whence, by the help of 
General Butler, he came North. Their losses amounted to $50,000, 
and as Mr. Mulliken had his all invested in the enterprise, this misfor- 
tune, of course, left him a ruined man. At the same time, too, his health 
failed him, which for years compelled him to retire from anything like 
active business Hfe. The sudden and disastrous termination of his busi- 
ness affairs, also, left him deeply in debt, but these obligations he after- 
ward liquidated by paying one hundred cents on the dollar to his credit- 
ors. He then made up his mind to go west, and in August, 1S65, 
went to Chicago, which has since been his home. Here he first entered 
the employ of Page 8z Sprague, wholesale dealers in paints, oils and 



224 MULLIKENS OF BRADFORD, MASS. 

glass, on Dearborn Street, as confidential man. He continued with them 
until 1872, meanwhile losing all he had in the fire. He then became 
cashier in a savings bank until 1874, when he entered the real estate 
business, in which he has remained until the present time. Mr. Mulh- 
ken is an elder and active member of the Fourth Presbyterian 
Church. He is particularly active in mission work, and is assistant 
superintendent of the Howe Street Mission, with a Sunday school num- 
bering six hundred, and a very prosperous industrial school attached. 
He is also a member of the Citizens' Association, Chicago Club, Union 
Club, Real Estate Board, and is on the Executive Committee of the 
Presbyterian Social Union. As a real estate dealer Mr. MuUiken has 
from the first taken a leading position, and since 1874 has been con- 
nected with many of the important changes in Chicago realty. 

Charles Henry Mulhken and wife had four children, of whom one 
only is Uving — A. Henry MuUiken, Esq?, of the firm of Pettibone & 
^lulliken, dealers in railroad supplies.

many years so afflicted with rheumatism that he was unable to perform manual 
labor. His wife predeceased him, but tlic date of her demise is unknown. 

He was of medium height and fair complexion, with clear blue eyes — a fme 
looking old gentleman. Being a fine vocalist, "with a voice as clear-toned as 
a bell," he would often, even when very aged, join with his family in singing 
some familiar measure. He had been a teacher of music. His faculties were 
retained until the close of his life.

John Mulliken^ (1), born as early as 1680-85, his parents' names unknown, was 
of Methuen, Mass. He and his daughter, Jane, purchased land of Capt. Joshua 
Swan. In another conveyance, June 13, 1748, Joshua Swan, consideration ;^8o, 
sold to John Mulliken, laborer, and Jane Mulliken, spinster, a part of his origi- 
nal grant from the General Court on Haverhill old line, in Methuen, 40 acres 
and a house. This lot of land was on the border of Salem, N. H., and on the 
corner where Haverhill turns up and touches Methuen. The estate was com- 
posed of i)arcels of land acquired at different times. In 1757, Joshua Swan for 
;^33 sold to Joseph Sprague of Methuen, laborer, land on the west side of Haver- 
hill old line, and on the same page is recorded a deed from James Long to Joseph 



226 MULLIKENS OF BRADFORD, MASS. 

Sprague, " including the estate, my wife, Jane Long, bought togather with her 
father, John Mulliken, of Capt. Joshua Swan and set off to my wife as dower." 

In 1757, James Long gave a deed to Jimima Sprague of Methuen, called a 
daughter of John Mulliken. In the same year Jimima Sprague bought back 
the place on Haverhill line, in Methuen, which her deceased husband had sold, 
and with it a strip of land inherited by Jane, widow of James Long, from her 
father, John MulUken's estates, that fell to her share. 

" John Mulliken of Methuen, husbandman, in consideration of a bond given 
me by Daniel McCleary, Jr., my grandson of Methuen, husbandman, who binds 
himself for ;)^ioo, to care for me in comfortable and honorable support and main- 
tainance during my natural life, do give my land in Methuen, 18 acres bounded 
by land of Daniel McCleary, East by Haverhill Une and James Long & Tit- 
combs farm & Co., May 28, 1762. Witnessed by Daniel McCleary, Sr., and 
Ebenezer Barker, June i, 1762. Recorded Oct. 22, 1765." 

Attached to the foregoing "Life Lease" is a statement that James Long and 
Jean his wife, daughter of John MulUken of Methuen, are the proper owners 
of 40 acres of land and a house which John Mulliken and Jean bought of Joshua 
Swan together. The parties agree that John Mulliken and heirs shall have 
18 acres, and Jean to have 41 acres, each party to hold title in buildings and 
\ acre lot under the house. James and Jean Long quit claim to honored father 
the 18 acres he gave to his grandson Daniel McCleary, Jr., May 4, 1756. At the 
time the division was made, 1762, Daniel got it. Witnesses: James Marsh, 
Daniel McCleary and Moses Morse. 

This John Mulliken could not have been a descendant of that Robert Milli- 
ken whose name stands at the head of the Bradford branch. He was born as 
early as 1680-85, earUer than any of the children of that Robert; besides, his 
son John and family are accounted for. Robert Mulliken, son of Hugh of Bos- 
ton, born Aug. 9, 1681, if he survived childhood, has not been traced. A Robert 
Mulliken married Mary Hoyt in 1737. As we find mention of several branch 
families in the early records in and about Boston, which are not connected with 
either the Bradford, or the Alger-Millikens, we conclude that some of those 
parents whose names appear in the Brattle Street church records settled not 
distant from the geographical "Hub" and left children whose names crop up 
in the old registers now and then. An exhaustive search might reveal records 
of births that would make genealogical connections.

Asa MuUiken^ married Rachel Campbell, daughter of Rev. Robert Campbell, 
one of the early settlers of Campbelltown, Steuben Co., N. Y., and resided in 
that town, where he had born two daughters and three sons whose names will 
appear. Tradition makes Asa MuUiken a descendant of Robert MuUiken of 
Bradford, Mass., but the genealogical connection has not been ascertained. 

1. Albert MuUiken (1), eldest son of Asa^ (1), b. in Campbelltown, Steuben 
Co., N. Y., Dec. 18, 1806; m., ist, May 29, 1829, Sar.ah Cook, daughter of

with his family to West Urbana, now Champaign, 111., where he engaged in land 
and grain speculation, continuing this business until his death, which occurred 
July 22, 1864. He was a consistent member of the M. E. Church, and active 
in temperance work. In politics a Republican. There were seven children,

CHILDREN OF HENRY AND ERMINA BURRITT. 

I. John Burritt Mulliken' (2), eldest son of Henry' (1), was b. in Campbell- 
town, Steuben Co., N. Y., May 30, 1837; m. in 1858 to Emma Annette Batch- 
elder at Chicago, 111., and d. at Detroit, Mich., Nov. 23, 1892. His boyhood 
was spent on a farm near Crete, Will Co., 111. He was employed as clerk in the 
drugstore of his uncle. Dr. Harvey Burritt, at ^Nlaumee City, O., at the age of 
15, and later for Hon. J. M. Ashley at Toledo, O. At the age of 19 his career 
as a railroad man began as mail agent on the Illinois Central Railroad, running 
between Chicago and Centralia. Soon he was made station agent for the road 
at Mattoon, 111., but remained only a short time, as he was transferred to the 
general freight office at Chicago. A little later he entered the service of the 
Galena, Chicago & Union R. R., and in August, 1858, was made the road's 
agent at Rockford, 111., where he remained seven years, going from there to 
Belvidere as agent for the railroad, and agent, also, for the American Express 
Co. After si.x years he was appointed agent for the Chicago & Northwestern 
and Rock Island & St. Louis railroads at StirUng, 111. 

In May, 1874, Mr. MuUiken became a local traffic agent of the Winona & 
St. Peter's R. R. at Winona, Minn. Within a year he was chosen as super- 
intendent of the Peninsular Division of the Chicago & Northwestern, with 
headquarters at Escanaba, Mich. In 1875 he became superintendent of the 
Detroit, Lansing & Northern and the St. Louis & Saginaw Valley Railroads, 
with his home and headquarters at Detroit, Mich. His last position in railroad 



230 MULLIKENS OF BRADFORD, MASS. 

enterprises was vice-president and general manager of the last mentioned roads, 
together with the Chicago & West Michigan Railroad, which position he held 
till March, 1890, when, after having made a most honorable record, he resigned. 
From this time until shortly before his death he held responsible positions as 
member of the Board of Public Works of Detroit, and Manager of the Citizens 
Street Railway. The MuUiken station and post office in Eaton County, Mich., 
was named in his honor. 

Mr. Mulliken was a man of great executive ability, and very popular among 
business men. At the time he resigned as manager of the D. L. & N. R. R. the 
citizens of Detroit and railroad men of the State gave him a Jubilee reception 
in one of the large halls of Detroit, as a mark of appreciation and respect as a 
citizen and railroad manager. 

His death, while sudden, was not unexpected to those who knew him. For 
several years he was afflicted with a severe stomach and heart trouble, to such 
an extent that he frequently became unconscious. Only three weeks before his 
death he went with a party of friends on a shooting excursion in the northern 
part of Michigan. While away he was seriously ill and returned home on 
Sabbath preceding his death. On arri\dng home he seemed better, and was on 
the street looking very well. He retired as usual on Tuesday night, but when 
his wife called to him in the morning, he did not answer. He was beyond help, 
and his departure was easy and sudden. 

The attendance at his funeral of Knight Templars, railroad men from all 
over the state, and business men from the city, also attested his popularity and 
the high esteem in which he was held. 

He was one of the organizers and active workers in the Universalist church, 
and always an interested member, whether trustee or simple attendant. In re- 
ligion he was reverent and candid. He thought much upon spiritual matters, 
though he cared little for forms. He appreciated good literature and had a 
fine sense of the artistic. 

His funeral was held on Friday, Nov. 25th. The body was taken in charge 
by the Knights Templars and borne to the church of Our Father. Services 
were conducted by Rev. Lee S. McCoUester, pastor. Rev. Charles Fluhrer, D.D., 
of Grand Rapids, a personal friend, and Rev. Reed Stuart, of the Unitarian 
Church, in the presence of a large number of friends of the deceased and in the 
hearing of Mr. MuUiken's family, who remained in the pastor's study. The 
floral tributes were magnificent, one being the beautiful emblem of the order, 
from the Detroit Consistory, 32d degree, of which Mr. Mulliken was a member. 
A handsome cross was Detroit Commandery's gift. The interment was at 
Woodmere Cemetery.

Alexander Milliken, a nati\c of the T.cnvlands of Scotland, resided at Castle

of the survivors of the siege. From this Alexander ]\Iilliken through his sons, 
William and Alexander, and another brother, probably named Robert, who 
went South, have descended many branches and numerous famiUes now scattered 
into several states; among them, as will appear, the family designated "Milli- 
kans of A\'ashington, Mass." The Scotch-Irish ancestors of this race were 
staunch Protestants of Presbyterian faith who trained their children in the fear 
of God, and their posterity have generally exhibited the moral and religious 
characteristics of their progenitors. 

Alexander Milliken^ (2), son of the preceding, born at Castle Dawson, Ireland 
(probably), in 1720, was by occupation a cooper and farmer. He evidently had 
two wives, the first, whose name does not appear, dying in Ireland, where his 
eldest son, James, was born eight years before his next children. He emigrated 
to America, sometime between 1744 and 1751, and it is supposed that he tarried 
awhile with some of the Scotch-Irish at Watertown, or Cambridge, Afass. (prob- 
ably with his brother \\'illiam in Washington, Mass.), but soon after became 
a resident of Windham, N. H. He removed to Wilton, N. H., when liis son 
Samuel was an infant; thence, in 1775, to Sharon, N. H., where he probably 
died. This Alexander was also a soldier, being a member of Col. John Hart's 
regiment in the Crown Point expedition during the French and Indian ^^'ar; 
serving from April 27 to Nov. 23, 1758. His will, probated Aug. 7, 1798, is 
recorded at Nashua, N. H., his son Samuel being named as executor. He must 
have been a man of much natural force of character, for he dealt extensively in 
real estate and acquired a good property for his time. He was called to fill 
some of the minor municipal offices. 

Note. — Since the publication of "Saco Valley Settlements and Families," in 1895, by 
Rev. G. T. Ridlon, Sr., in which it was stated that James Milliken of Sharon, N. H., was a son 
of Alexander Milliken of Wilton, N. H., there has existed some doubt respecting such rela- 
tionship, founded principally U{)on a family tradition, but since it has been learned that Alex- 
ander of Wilton, removed to Sharon and probably died there near his son's home (if not in it), 
there appears no grounds for doubting the connection as stated in the volume above mentioned. 
A more thorough examination of the old records of Windham, Wilton, Peterboro, and Sharon, 
might result in documentary proof of the relation. — Author.

CHILDREN OF ALEXANDER AND WIVES. 

James Milliken'^ (1), eldest known son of Alexander^ (2), was born at Castle 
Dawson, or Dawson Bridge, in County Londonderry, Ireland, and on the river

Boyne, in 1744. He was twice married, his first wife being Elizabeth Mc- 
KoNE of Ireland. In the autumn of 1765, with his wife and one child, he sailed 
for America, and arrived at Boston, Nov. 4, 1765. They made a brief stop with 
friends at the Scotch-Irish settlement in Watertown or Cambridge, Mass. ; from 
this locality they removed to " Peterboro SUp," now the town of Sharon, N. H., 
where they settled, and where nearly all of his children were born. James Milli- 
ken and wife had the genuine Scotch love of books and brought across the water 
with them by far the finest library that had ever been seen in Peterboro or 
vicinity. It was long the subject for much talk in the new settlement, and the 
owner made generous loans of books to the pioneer families for miles around. 
He probably never dreamed of the far-reaching influence this library would have 
in the community, and it does not require a wide stretch of imagination to be- 
lieve that, through the use of this collection of books, to James Milliken belongs 
the honor of having sown the first Uterary seed that eventually developed (three 
years after his death) into the establishment in Peterboro, of the first Free Pub- 
lic Library in the United States; for to this town is this high honor now fully 
conceded. 

True to his Scotch ancestry, James MiUiken early showed his patriotism 
in the Revolutionary War. He was a member of Capt. Joseph Parker's Com- 
pany raised out of Col. Enoch Hale's N. H. Regiment. They joined the North- 
ern Army at Ticonderoga, N. Y., being mustered in July 18, 1776, by Col. Hale, 
paymaster and muster ofiicer. He served with his regiment faithfully, enduring 
its hardships and privations without a murmur, and in due time received his 
honorable discharge. 

He followed the occupation of his father, that of cooper, adding the pursuit 
of agriculture. His first wife, by whom seven children, died of childbed fever. 
He married, second, Elizabeth McCoy (perhaps daughter of WilHam and 
Mary J. of Peterboro), by whom nine children. He outlived his second wife 
and died at the beautiful farm homestead of his son James, in South Charles- 
town, N. H., Mar. 4, 1830, aged 86. His grave in the village cemetery is marked 
by a medium sized white marble slab. 

2. Samuel Milliken^ (1), second son of Alexander (2), was b. in Windham, 
N. H., Oct. 2, 1752. Name of wife, b. Jan. 12, 1766, and to whom m. Dec. 8, 
1785, was Mary McAllister. He enlisted May i, 1775, for 8 months in Capt. 
William Scott's Company, Col. Stark's Regiment, N. H. line. He d. May 27, 
1842. Widow applied for pension and filed a leaf from Bible containing family 
record. He was in the battle of Bunker Hill and was one of Stark's men (of 
whom 15 were killed) wounded in that historic engagement. He was town clerk 
of Sharon, N. H., — to which town his father had moved from Wilton in 1775, 
— from 1791 to 1796; from 1804 to 1807, and from 1809 to 1811. The family 
record was procured from Pension Dept., Washington, D. C. His father named 
as executor of his will. The names of seven children with 4th generation. 

3. William Milliken^ (1), third son of Alexander^ (2), b. in Windham, N. H., 
Oct. 2, 1752; was a twin brother of Samuel, preceding. He .m. about 1777, 
Esther Taggart, daughter of John and Barbary (Nay) Taggart of Sharon, 
N. H., but subsequently removed to Peterborough, N. PL, where he d. in 1808. 
He was a member of Capt. Abijah Smith's Company from Col. Enoch Hale's 
Regiment of New Hampshire men, for New York Revolutionary service, mus- 
tered Sept. 21, 1776. His children were b. in Sharon, N. H. See 4th generation.

to swim the Connecticut Ri\er after his boat, on his farm above Bellows Falls, 
Vt., long known as the '' James Milliken homestead." Mrs. Bellows' only child, 
Royal, had d. less than a year previously, June 16, 1819, in his 28th year, unm. 
Two such afflictions in the space of ten months might have crushed a woman 
of less heroic character, but she bravely bore her part, giving prominent atten- 
tion thereafter to the needs of relatives and neighbors. She d. at her home in 
Drewsville, Walpole, X. H., Mar. 8, 1843, aged 77 years.

ken was chiefly brought up. John ^lilliken was in Chester, Vt., when about 

21, and in connection with one McCoy, he ''cleared up" there large tracts of 
land, taught school, studied medicine, and served as 4th of July orator, speaking 
from a high bowlder, long after called " Milliken's Rock." He completed his 
medical education in Philadelphia, and settled in the practice of his profession 
at Jefferson, Greene Co., Pa. Dr. Milliken was of a cheerful disposition and 
stirring and jiractical habits and attained prominence in his profession. He was 
fond of anecdotes and occasionallv indulged in vcrsif^•ing, a habit, or taste, that 
was transmitted to some of his grandchildren. In one of his letters he wrote: 
"Tell my sister Bellows, if .she has had melancholly days, to throw them be- 
hind her, for it is folly to think of them more, and to enjoy the present moment, 
for it is all we can call our own." His t'lrst wife d. about 1812, and late in life

New Ipswich, N. H., Mar. 21, 1770, son of Joseph and Phebe (Powers) Bates. 
They resided in Walpole, and Jaffrey, N. H., in Potsdam, N. Y., and in Farm- 
ingdale, near Springfield, 111., to which they removed in the autumn of 1835,

well Co., 111., and after less than a week's illness, d. there Nov. 16, 1853. Was 
buried beside her husband in Farmingdale Cemetery. She was a woman of 
remarkable mental and physical vigor — a genuine representative of the best 
t}^e of New England womanhood, and possessed the dash and breadth of the 
great free West. A granddaughter has written of her: "She never stooped, and 
her step was light and elastic as a girl's." The same woman relates the follow- 
ing: "Grandmother Bates had been away visiting, and started to walk home 
across the prairie. She had not gone far when she saw a young horse (that had 
been worked some the spring before) feeding. She caught him, led him to a 
gopher hill, and mounted without saddle or bridle. No sooner was she on his 
back, than he started on the run for home. There were several branches (called 
brooks in the East) to cross; these he jumped. Uncle saw them coming and 
opened the gate that the horse might not stop too suddenly. He slackened his 
pace, as he entered the yard, and grandmother sprang to the ground, delighted 
with her ride. She must have been, at the time, at least 65 years of age. She 
did not come to Illinois till she was 63. Could any of the present generation of 
Milliken descendants ride as well? I used to be thought a fearless rider, but I 
could never have dared such a ride just for pleasure." 

Mrs. Bates had twelve children, named as follows, of whom four were b. in 
Potsdam, N. Y., the others b. in New Hampshire: 

I. Eliza Bates, b. in Walpole, N. H., Dec. 22, 1794; m. Dec. 4, 1818, to

When 90 years of age she was interviewed by Daniel L. AliUiken, and was then 
clearminded and active bodily. To information she gave at this interview, the

ident in Charlestown, N. H. Was one of the selectmen in 1833, 1834, 1844 and 
1849. The following incident shows something of the character of this man. 
While working in his wheelwright shop in Alstead, N. H., he was suffering from 
a sore corn, and decided to try his hand at surgery; so placing his foot on a block, 
h e held a sharp chisel upon the troublesome toe and gave it a smart clip with 
his "hammer and was instantly minus that member of his body. He wrapped a 
bit of cloth around his bleeding foot, remarking that he guessed that corn would 
not trouble him any more, and went about his work. The result of this was so 
successful that he tried the experiment upon another corn, took cold, and came 
near terminating his life. Five children. See 4th generation.

I. Harriet M. Hiller, b. in Jefferson, Greene Co., Pa., July 23, 1823;

alry officer in Missouri — lieutenant and captain. Being without a 



244 MILLIKE NS OF WILTON AND SHARON, N. H. 

family of his own, he took special interest in the education of the 
children of his blind brother, Royal. Capt. Hiller possessed a taste 
for literature and wrote much, in creditable verse. We subjoin a single 
characteristic stanza from his pen: 

" But why complain of things beyond our power? 
We cannot storm the barricades of Fate, 
Let Patience fringe with gold each murky hour, 
And blaze the way that leads to Wisdom's Gate." 

III. James H. Hiller, b. in Jefferson, Greene Co., Pa., May, 1827; m. 
1858, Rebecca Reynolds in said town. He was the only one of the 
six Hiller brothers who did not serve in the Union Army, and he d. 
suddenly of apoplexy at Hannibal, Mo., while on his way to a recruit- 
ing office (for the purpose of enlisting), July 8, 1862. 

IV. Mahgaret Hiller, b. in Jefferson, Greene Co., Pa., June 10, 182Q, 
m. Oct. II, 1852, Nehemiah Richardson, M.D. They resided in 
Vernon, Ind., where she d. He d. Two children. 

V. William Hiller, b. in Jefferson, Greene Co., Pa., Feb. 5, 1832; m. 
Sept. 30, 1857, Sarah Roseberry. Resided in Kansas City, Mo. 
Like his brothers, he was of the same patriotic makeup as the ances- 
tral stock from which he sprung, his grandfather Hiller and his great- 
grandfather Milliken, both having been Revolutionary soldiers. Like 
his brothers, John and Hiram, he was a cavalry officer in the Union 
service in Missouri throughout the war, holding a lieutenant's commis- 
sion and doing his full share to win for the family the reputation among 
the Confederates of being "those d d fighting Hillers." 

VI. Hiram M. Hiller, b. in Jefferson, Greene Co., Pa., Apr. 23, 1834; 
m. Aug. 27, 1857, Sarah F. Bell of same county, daughter of Levi 
H. Bell. Mr. Hiller was successively and successfully printer, editor, 
merchant, soldier, lawyer, banker, farmer, and politician. Was one of 
the most prominent men of Northern Missouri, and attained a wide 
influence in business, military, and political circles. He was one of 
the famous 30 Grant delegates in the Chicago Republican Convention 
of 1880, who were given the Grant medals. He served in the Union 
Army during the entire war and rose to the rank of lieutenant-colonel. 
It is a remarkable fact that these five Hiller brothers — typical Union 
soldiers — should have seen active service during so long a period and 
among the "bushwhackers" of Missouri, and come out of the contest 
without serious wounds; and more remarkable still is it, that after pass- 
ing safely through so many dangerous experiences Col. Hiller was 
destined to be killed by a freight train in his own village and in the 
quiet pursuit of the avocations of peace. His useful life was thus 
brought to a close at Kahoka, Mo., Aug. 14, 1895. He had issue 
nine children, three of whom d. young. 

vn. George M. Hiller, b. in Jefferson, Greene Co., Pa., May 14, 1836; 
m. Sept. 17, 1868, Mary A. Miller. He shared with his brothers the 
honors of faithful service for his country during the war for the Union, 
being a corporal in the Missouri Infantry. The family reside at 
Kahoka, Mo. No issue. 

viii. Amelia Hiller, b. in Jefferson, Greene Co., Pa., Apr. 30, 1838; m.

I. Mortimer Delville Milliken^ (1), eldest son of E. Alexander" (4), b. in Keene, 
N. H., May 11, 1805; m. May 17, 1836, Miss Harriette Foster, b. June 12, 
1805. He received his education in his native town and early entered the store 
of A. Haskins as clerk, where he remained until his majority. He was soon after 
appointed executor of the estate of an uncle which made it necessary to go to 
Georgia, where he disposed of the "Woodbine Plantation." What he saw while 
in the South made him a strong anti-slavery man. After his return to the North 
he became partner in a large store at Keene. He decided, in 1840, to remove to 
the then Far West, and drove with a horse and chaise 400 miles and took up land 
in Clarendon, State of New York, and that was his home until his death, which 
occurred Feb. 5, 1900. His wife predeceased him after a wedded life of 36 years. 

Mr. Milliken was a man of sterhng integrity, energetic in business, of a kindly 
and genial disposition, so that he was respected and beloved by all who knew 
him. On account of certain doctrinal beliefs he never united with any church, 
but was always a devout student of the Bible, a strict observer of the Sabbath, 
and one who sought reverently to do the will of God. 

Politically, he was a strong Republican, always taking an active interest in 
the success of the party. For two years, 1861 and 1862, he was supervisor of 
Clarendon. 

He was under the care of his son George, who has always lived on the home- 
stead, and from him received the most dutiful attention. 

The funeral services were attended by a large circle of relatives, friends, and 
neighbors who, by their presence and kindly words, testified to the esteem in 
which they held the departed. Children named as follows: 

I. William Delville Milliken", b. Mar. i, 1837, in Keene, N. H.; m. 
Jan., 1867, to Jennie Nason, b. at New London, Conn., May i, 1847.

1833, and settled in Newbury, Vt., which remained her home until her marriage, 
Mar. 3, 1847. Her father was Alexander Laing. She d. at Medina, Lenawee 
Co., Mich., Apr., 1896. He resided in Cheshire Co., N. H., until May, 1840, 
when he went to Clarendon, N. Y., where his brother, Mortimer D., was already 
settled, intending to permanently locate there. Of his journey westward he 
wrote his wife as follows: "I left Keene at 7 o'clock; reached Brattleboro at 12; 
started from there at 4 a.m., and arrived at Albany at 12 p.m.. Left there at 6 
next morning for Syracuse, which place I reached at 7 p.m. Took the stage for 
Batavia, where I arrived at 5 a.m. and took the cars for Rochester, arrived at 
9 o'clock, and took the boat for Holly, which place I reached at 7 p.m." Soon 
after reaching his brother's he sent for his wife and two children, and they re- 
mained with his brother's family until after the mother died, when he returned

with them to Keene, N. H., where he remained, — his children hving with their 
paternal grandparents, — until his second marriage. In the fall of 1853, he 
moved to Lenawee Co., Mich., and settled upon a farm in Hudson township, 
where he remained until 1 870-1, when he removed to the village of Medina, 
about a mile from his farm, where he conducted a hotel for a time; then retired 
from active Ufe, his sons by his second wife, meanwhile, carrying on the farm. 
He d. Feb. 5, 1899. He was successful as a farmer, being a man of good judg- 
ment who carefully looked after his own affairs. Although possessing a some- 
what hasty temper, he was of a genial, rather jovial, nature, ever ready to do a 
favor, fond of his friends, and beloved by them. Politically, he was a Democrat, 
but never took an active part in politics, contenting himself with casting his 
vote. As a man his honesty and integrity were beyond question. See 6th gen- 
eration for his children's names. 

I. Susan Elizabeth Milliken^, b. Mar. 11, 1839, in Keene, N. H., and 
Hved with her relatives some time after the rest of the family were in 
Michigan; but finally rejoined them and engaged in teaching (having 
acquired her education in the East) until failing health compelled her 
to give up professional duties and remain at home until her death, which 
occurred June 22, 1863, at Medina, Mich. 
II. Ed\vard Alexander Milliken", b. Dec. 14, 1840, in Keene, N. H., 
and was carried when a babe to Clarendon, N. Y., and after his mother's 
death, before he was two years of age, back to New Hampshire, where 
he lived until the family went West in the fall of 1853. After reaching 
the new home he attended at an Academy winters and worked clearing 
new land summers. In the fall of 1859, he went to Canandaigua, N. Y., 
to reside with his uncle, Nathan J. Milliken. He there attended at the 
Academy during the winter and in the spring entered the office of " The 
Ontario County Times," to learn the printer's trade. He remained in 
this position until May, 1861, when he enlisted as private in Co. G, 
i8th N. Y. Infantry, for two years, and served until his term expired, 
when he hastened home to Michigan that he might meet his sister once 
more before she died. He soon returned to Canandaigua, and in Sep- 
tember, same year, re-enlisted in Co. H, 4th N. Y. Heavy Artillery, and 
served until the war closed, being discharged Sept. 25, 1865. Return- 
ing to New York, he went to the oil fields of Pennsylvania, but returned 
to printing. His health failing he tried outdoor work again. He m.,

of ApoUas and Lydia (Eaton) Drown, of that place. After his mar- 
riage he returned to New York where, on Tenawanda Island in the 
Niagara River, he superintended a fruit farm. His health failed and he 
retired to the home of his wife in Adrian, Mich., where he still resides. 
Pie has lost the use of his legs by locomotor ataxia and moves about 
house in a wheel chair. He has been a great sufferer, but being naturally 
of a strong, enduring constitution, and equally strong will-power, and 
of a genial disi)osition, he has borne his affliction with such fortitude 
and cheerfulness as to excite the wonder and admiration of his many 
friends. He rejoices in the use of his hands, and through all these years, 
since 1880, has kept them busy in various kinds of hght work, always 
expressing gratitude to his Heavenly Father for his many blessings, and 
is patiently waiting for his summons home. In politics he has always

near, Keene, N. H., Sept. 27, 1821; m. Nov. i, 1853, Miss Orlixe Suttox of 
Seneca Co., N. Y., who d. in January, 1894. Mr. MiUiken was educated in the 
common schools and at Hancock and Keene Academies, in the meantime serv- 
ing an apprenticeship at the printing trade in the office of the Cheshire Repiihli- 
can, at Keene. Later, he worked at his trade at Burlington, Vt., and at Kecse- 
ville, N. Y., where he received his first editorial training in the office of the 
Keesevi/le Republican, being part owner of that paper during the Presidential 
campaign of 1844. The following year he removed to Seneca Falls, becoming 
editor and proprietor of the Courier, then the Whig organ of Seneca County. 
He sold this ])aper following tlie nomination of General Taylor, in 1848, but 
established and conducted during the ensuing campaign, a paper known as 
The Free Soil Union. He became a resident of Canandaigua, N. Y., in 1852, 
and there estabUshed the paper to whose management he was thereafter destined 
to devote his life, The Ontario County Times. 

Mr. ^Nlilliken's interest in politics dated froni 1840, wlien he was a resident 
of Burlington, \t. Though not yet a voter, he there identified him.self with the 
Whig party and took an active part in the ''liarrison and Tyler too" campaign 
of that year. Four years later, when Henry Cla\-, the idol of the j^rogressive 
young men of the country and the magnetic leader of the Whig party, was its 
Presidential candidate, he was doing his first editorial work in the otTice of the 
Kccseville Republican. Following the defeat of ''Harry of the West," in that 
campaign, he sold out his interests in the paper, an action that indicated how 
keen was his disappointment at the defeat of the beloved leader, and how illy 
could he brook the affront to luinciples embraced in the trium])h of the reac- 
tionist, James K. Polk. ^ir. Alilliken had from the first .sympathized with the 
constantly growing anti-slavery sentiment, the ground swell of which threatened 
the disorganization of both the old parties, and when he entered ui)on news- 
paper work at Seneca Falls, it was as the avowed champion of the radical ele- 
ment in the Whig party. When that party, in 1848, threw over l)oth of its 
logical leaders, Clay and ^^'ebster, and selected Taylor, a slaveholder, as its 
candidate for the Pre.sidency, he sold his paper rather than be recreant to ])rin- 
ciple, and openly allied himself with the movement that, declaring itself at the 
Buffalo convention of that year for "a free soil for a free i)coj)le," laid the corner- 
stone of the political structure to be known as the Repul)lican party. 

The following extract from a letter written to his father at that time, and 
recently found among a bundle of the hitter's papers, shows something of the 
young editor's feelings: 



252 MILLIKENS OF WILTON AND SHARON, N. H. 

Seneca Falls, 30th July, 1848. 

My Dear Father : — ... I was very sorry to learn that you thought I had 
made a mistake in speaking against the nomination of General Taylor for the 
Presidency, and not less so tliat you should so far misapprehend my character as 
to suppose I would give him my suj)port. My dear father, I am quite too much 
"a chip of the old block" to do that — all the conventions in Christendom, 
aided by all the i)lausible sophistry of all the oily-tongued politicians in the land, 
cannot induce me to believe that Ta}'lor is a reliable Whig, or otherwise qualified 
for the high office to which he has been nominated. And this being the case, I 
shall not, cannot, consent to help along the game of fraud, either with my voice 
or vote. I will vote for no man whose past life, or present position and asso- 
ciations, do not afford some reasonable assurance that he will act right if elected. 
I am not unconsciovis of the numerous difficulties which may result from an 
adherence to this resolution. I do not forget the dangers to my pecuniary- 
interests, the loss of friends, the abuse of enemies, or the odium which invariably 
follows an independent course when unsuccessful, and which to some extent 
attaches even to the most fortunate eft'orts. These points were all considered 
and allowed to have their proper weight — they caused me to examine the whole 
ground dispassionately, with a view to reconciling myself to the Philadelphia 
nominee if possible, but the result was only a more thorough conviction that 
truth and honor required me to oppose General Taylor though endorsed by a 
professedly Whig convention, with the same zeal that I would if he had been the 
Locofoco candidate, as he had more than once signified his willingness to be, I 
could no longer hesitate but at once determined to do what I could to secure 
the nomination of a third candidate of less objectionable character and standing. 
This desirable object, I think, is now in a fair way of accomplishment. The 
liufi'alo Convention, I trust, will bring out an acceptable ticket, in which case 
the most cheering results may be anticipated. A good vmion ticket, based on 
the nomination of an anti-slavery platform, is what we want, and such an one, 
if brought into the field through the instrumentality of the Buffalo Convention, 
will receive my cordial support. And if it shall turn out that a political editor 
cannot obtain a hving and be honest, then I will cease to be one. "I will hang 
my harp on the willow tree," and thereafter devote myself to some more honor- 
able em])]oymcnt. 

'J'hose were days of great events in pohtics. They were days in which it 
must ha\e l^een worth while to edit a newspaper. They were days that tried 
men's souls, tested their clearness of vision, divided them on questions of con- 
science. There were, happih', men in every Northern community whose faces 
were turned toward the right. At this time the Free Soilers of Ontario County 
wanted a paper of their own, and to whom could they look but to the young 
man at Seneca Falls, who had demonstrated his faithfulness to the cause they 
had at heart, by deeds as well as words. The Times and its editor had a ])art 
in shaping political developments of those pregnant years, and naturally led in 
the work of organizing the party which arose to save the Union and free the 
slaves. At the first Republican county convention, in the fall of 1855, Mr. 
MiUiken was a leading spirit, and in the campaign that followed he was the 
candidate of the "People's" convention for the otfice of sheriff, but was de- 
feated. 

He continued prominent in the upbuilding and management of the Repub- 
hcan party, and often headed its delegations to State and District conventions. 



MILLJKEXS 01- WJLTO.y AXD ^J/AKO.V, .V. //. 2r>3 



At the outbreak of the Civil War, he took an atli\c and useful part in arousing 
patriotic sentiment, but the impaired eyesight which had embarrassed him from 
i)oyhood, was an insurmountable obstacle to tlic services he would have ren- 
dered in the army. He was elected for County Clerk in 1864. 

In the succeeding years he devoted himself to the conduct of The Times, 
and continued prominent in the management of local party affairs. In the 
Blaine campaign of 1884, he was the Repul)lican nominee for Presidential 
elector in his congressional district. In i8qo, lie was appointed Postmaster by 
President Harrison. He held this otTice during the ensuing four years, and 
introduced important local postal improvements. 

Mr. Milliken died at his home in Canandaigua, N. Y., Nov. 26, 1902, aged 
81 vears and 2 months. He had ])cen a resident of that town for over 50 years. 
Coming there as the avowed opponent of the old regime, he had an uphill road 
to travel, both in establishing himself in Inisiness and organizing the forces of 
the growing anti-slavery movement. But he fought unllinchingiy the good 
light for free men and free soil, and surmounting business obstacles and living 
down political obloquy, he won the respect, and in a large measure the favor, 
of those whom he had opposed in his battles for principle. His .sagacity and 
wisdom as a political leader came to be widely recognized, and he was the trusted 
adviser and lieutenant of Horace Greeley, Thurlow Weed, William H. Seward, 
and other noted men who were so instrumental in building the Republican 
party. Mr. Milliken was a practical politician, in the best sense of the term. 
He was loval to his convictions and to his friends. His w'ord was as good as his 
bond, in politics or in business. He never knowingly supported an unworthy 
man for any office. He fought fair and often fiercely, with the result that he 
made enemies as well as friends, and was a principal in many heated political 
controversies, but he held no personal rancors. He was a great editor in the 
field he had selected, and in more than one instance his brethren of the quill 
paid high tribute to his ability in that capacity. He invested his paper with a 
marked individuality, being a forceable and cogent writer. He was a public- 
spirited citizen and used his j)otent influence for the advancement of every 
worthy local enterprise. He was a noble specimen of manhood who did not 
shrink at discouragements, and always held y)rinciple above personal interests. 
He was averse to professions but his character stood for righteousness. Those 
who knew him most intimately recognized his Christian spirit and the high and 
unselfish motives that governed his conduct. Never intentionally did he to 
ought to injure his fellowmen. That he was a generous friend, a kind and 
appreciative employer, and a loving father only those who have known him in 
these relations can speak. The memories of their hearts constitute his best 
monument. Children named as follows: 

I. Ch.arles F. Millikkn", b. Aug. 27, 1854; m. Margaret Towxlf.y, a 
voung lady of high culture, and daughter of a Baptist minister, now 
living at Peekskill, N. Y. He is now, in company with his younger 
brother, publi.shing the Ontario County Times, of which he is senior 
editor and ]>roprietor. He is also a member of the New York State 
civil >ervice commission, having been appointed by Gov. Odell in tlie

(3) Eleanor Rachel Milliken'' , b. Apr. 9, 1902 ; d. Apr. 14, 1902. 

He graduated at the Illinois Normal University in 1884. He taught two 
years in Cook County, when he was chosen principal of the Fenw^ood School in 
Chicago. From that institution, after five years' work, he was promoted to the 
principalship of the Fallon School, and from there after five years to the Koz- 
minski, which is situated in Hyde Park, one of the finest sections in Chicago. 
But Prof. MiUiken asked to be transferred to the Carter Harrison School, where 
the work is more difficult, the school larger, and the pupils largely of foreign 
parentage; but he had been there only a year and a half when he was called to 
be superintendent of the Jewish Training School, a non-sectarian institution 
maintained by the Jewish Training School Society of Chicago, and situated in 
the heart of the Russian Refugee settlement. After the death of Prof. Bam- 
berger, who opened this school in 1890, nearly a year was spent with many

prominent educators under consideration, when Prof. Milliken was selected and 
transferred from the Harrison School. 

Durinij; the years of his principalship in Chiraiij(\ Prof. Milliken inauj^urated 
the Penny Savings liaiik in the schools, and is now one of the trustees of the 
society. For two years he was superintendent of the vacation schools when 
their imj)ortant work was new in the city, and the stamp of his genius remains 
in the yiolicy he adopted. He has also worked in the Teachers' College, taking 
special interest in manual training, which he warmly advocates. His long e.\- 
perience as a teacher in all grades and in high school, and with the most liberal 
preparation for the demands of the Training School, qualifies Prof. Milliken for 
raising his present charge to a high degree of efficiency and prosperity; and 
should his life and health be sjxired he bids fair to stand in the front rank of 
American educators.

Note. — About the time Francis M. Milliken was born and before he was named, his 
father and grandfather chanced to meet one day at (Farwells Mills) Clarendon village, and 
the old gentleman, who was then town clerk, asked his son: "Well, Alec, what will you name 
the boy?" Facetiously, Alexander, Jr., replied: "Why, General Francis Marion." Assum- 
ing that his son was in earnest, the old scribe went home and entered the name and date of 
birth in the town book. When the parents heard of this transaction they concluded to let the 
record stand, "and so," says the owner of this name, "I became a Swamp Fox."

mington, Vt. His father d. when he was only fourteen months old. Under the 
then laws of Vermont it became necessary to have a guardian ap[)ointed over 
the children. When, six years later, the mother married again, against the 
wishes of the guardian, he took the children away from her and scattered them 
in three dilTcrent towns. Daniel was particularly unfortunate in the abiding 
place assigned to him. He was abused in various ways and finally whipperl 
severely for not being able, at seven years of age, to hold a plow jjroperly for 
plowing. This caused one of the neighbors to .secure the child's removal from 
such cruel hands. 

When Daniel was nine years old, the stc]) fatlier dciidod to remove a dis- 
tance of one hundred and thirty miles northward. The children jjleaded so 
hard to "go with mother" that the guardian consented, and in the deep snows 
of 1846 the family finally reached the log cabin in the forest at the foot of Jay 
^Mountain, near the Canadian line, in the town of Montgomery, Vt., that was 
to be their pioneer home. Here Daniel passed five years among bears, cata- 
mounts, deer and other wild animals, and endured the severe privations and toils 
of pioneer life, where poverty held sway and the cry of hunger was not always 
stilled. Here for one winter the boy used a piece of a broken slate to do his 
"sums" on, but he pleaded so strong the next year for "a whole slate" that 
from their scant supply of wool the mother carded with hand cards, and spun 
the yarn from which the boy knit a pair of socks, carried them two miles to a 
store, and exchanged them for a slate. Having "worked out" for seven months 
in 1 85 1, to pay, literally, for "a dead horse," Daniel decided to return to civiliza- 
tion, as his older brother had done at the same age. To gain his step-father's 
consent it was arranged that the lame boy, then eleven and a half years old, 
should go too. With their mother's blessing, and by the digging of potatoes by 
Daniel, the boys secured the means by which they finally emerged from the woods 
and returned to southern Vermont — the lame boy to his grandmother and 
Daniel to " work out," by which means he was able to get better schooling and 
to send some money to his mother. 

An injury he had received in the logging camp at Montgomery finally drove 
him from the farm to the factory; and he drove a milk cart for one season (1854) 
in Waltham, Mass. This was the year of the riot in Boston over the return 
of Anthony Burns to slavery, which nearby event greatly deepened young 
Milliken's anti-slavery sentiments. In the campaign of 1856 he became an 
enthusiastic agent for the sale of Fremont's Life. While travelling in this 
capacitv he made his first political speech at a Fremont rally in Claremont, 
N. H., when but nineteen years of age. In 1857 and 1858, in company with 
his older brother, he sold books, maps and stencil goods in seventeen states 
and listened to speeches by more than seventeen statesmen. He was for 
several terms a student at the Springfield, \'t.. Seminary and the Claremont, 
N. H., Academy. 

In i860 Mr. Milliken married and settled in business at Brandon, Vt., as a 
manufacturer of steel letters and stencil goods. He soon drifted into the news- 
paper field and published the "Brandon Monitor" and later the "Vermont 
Record." He removed with his family and paper to Brattleboro, Vt., in 1864. 
While there he estabH.shed job printing offices in Brandon, Springfield, and W'a- 
terbury, Vt., and issued editions of his paper from each, printing seven of the 
eight pages at Brattleboro, and the eighth page was made up of local news in 
each place and printed with the paper folded four thicknesses, something his 



258 MILLIKENS OF WILTON AND SHARON, NIL 

foreman, a practical printer, declared could not be done, but Milliken, who was 
not a practical printer, declared that it could be done, and it was done. Under 
his management the "Vermont Record" became the most noticeable and widely 
circulated paper in the state. Through its columns Mr. MilHken established an 
historic record as the first publisher who ever employed paid contributors or 
used illustrations in Vermont. The most prominent people of the state were 
among his subscribers, and frequent contributors to his paper. In Mr. Milli- 
ken's interesting autograph collection is one received by him from Hon. Solomon 
Foot, President of the United States Senate, written shortly before his death, 
which he concluded by saying: "I have taken great interest in your paper for 
its biographical and historical articles and many other things that I cannot 
readily find elsewhere. It is the only paper of which I have kept the files for 
reference." Mr. Milhken was the senior founder of the "Household" at Brat- 
tleboro, Vt., and the "Cottage Hearth" of Boston, pubhcations that attained 
wide prominence, and he is now the editor of the "Maiden Outlook." He has 
deUvered various addresses and written much for the press in prose and poetry. 
His pastoral poem, "The Valley Sunset," was highly commended by the poet 
Longfellow and other leading critics. Mrs. Julia C. R. Dorr characterized it 
as worthy to rank with Gray's "Elegy" and Buchanan Read's " Closing Scene." 
Mr. Milliken removed from Vermont to Medway, Mass., in 1869, and to 
Maiden, Mass., four years later, where he has since resided. He has been one 
of the Trustees of Maiden's famous public hbrary for twenty-three years. He 
has always been actively identified with political affairs, and was a representa- 
tive from Maiden in the legislature of 1887 and 1888, where he was classed as 
" one of the ten leaders of the House." 

THE VALLEY SUNSET. 
By Daniel Lake Milliken. 

From ancient Maiden's sea-view heights 

I've wandered lovingly to where 
I view again my childhood sights 

And breathe again Green Mountain air. 

Beneath Ascutney's towering peak, 

In robes of royal purple shrined, 
The Eden of my youth I seek, 

And leave all cark and care behind. 

O'er memory's broad and sunny plains, 

How oft I roamed to these fair hills, 
Where pomp lets fall her golden chains 

And Nature's sway the heart enthrills; 

Where jaded care and creeping craft 

Give place to merry manly toil; 
Where wealth uprears no vaunting shaft, 

Nor pinching want e'er cursed the soil; 

Where rosy health breathes in the air 

And hands are warm that passing meet; 
Where men grow strong and women fair; 

Where dwells content and sleep is sweet; 

Where better far than ocean floods 

Of musty precepts trite and old, 
Are lessons fresh from wavy woods, 

P'rom hillsides green and mountains bold: 



MILIJKENS 01- WJLTON AND SI/AKON, X.J/, 259 

Where thought has room to spread her wings 

And shake her pinions full and free, 
To mount above earth's petty things 

And calmly sail the upper sea. 

Where freedom, full in stature stands, 

And draws the breath that eagles draw, 
And guards with firm and loving hands. 

Yet rules with mild and wholesome law. 

Where "God's first Temples" still remain, 

The crowning glory of these hills — 
And passion dies — and follies vain — 

And jicace her happy mission fills. 

Bv yonder winding road o'er which 

The ancient stage once rattling rolled. 
Where Spring, from out her cotTers rich, 

Flings far and wide her cups of gold. 

Where Summer walks with flowery trail, 

And scatters free her spicy scents, 
While banners bright sweep hill and vale 

When Autumn strikes his battle tents; 

Where lulls the voice and charm the wiles, 

That wake the brooklets dreamy flow. 
When first it sighs for choral isles, 

Away in ocean depths below; 

Where mountain springs a nectar yield 

Far sweeter than the ruby \vine. 
And mountain airs o'er wood and field. 

A blessing bnng from fir and pine; 

Just where two roads together meet — 

And still the friendly guide-board-man] 
Directs the traveller's weary feet 

And guards the spot from e\-il ban — 

There stands, just as in years long past, 

A lo\vroofcd cottage — small and white — 
Where lilac blooms their fragrance cast 

.-^nd heaven sends down a softened light, 

And woods and hills with sheltering arms, 

And silver streams and meadows green, 
Throw round the spot a thousand charms. 

My eyes have elsewhere never seen. 

'Twas there my infant tongue first learned 

A mother's holy name to speak. 
And there a father's lips last turned 

To print a blessing on my cheek. 

Dear humble cot, fond childhood's home, 

Where hand in hand strayed brothers three. 
Alas! there's now but one to roam 

The fields this side the jasper sea. 

.^nd memory loves to picture yet 

The little schoolhouse in the glade, 
And oft reviews, with eyelids wet, 

The merrs' band that round it straved. 



260 MILLIKENS OF WILTOX AXD SHARON, N. H. 



Ah! forty years have come and fled, 
Since I, a careless, happy child, 

First that fount of learning sped 
To taste its waters sweet and mild. 

A sunny spot on memory's chart, 
I see the dear old schoolroom yet; 

And, clinging closely round my heart, 
Its charms I never can •forget. 

Its every look I still retain — • 
The teacher's ])uliiit desk so tall, 

The rows of benches, clumsy plain, 
The charcoal sketches on the wall. 

I hear, as in those golden days, 

The rustling leaves of well-worn books. 

And catch the gleam where mischief plays 
In merry winks and tender looks. 

The very trees I used to climb. 
And in their arms securely rock, 

Are rooted in my heart, nor time. 

Nor tide shall e'er their clasp unlock. 

The schoolhouse, then so old and gray. 
Still stands below the noisy mill. 

Where nature holds her ancient sway 
Of wood and rock and murmuring rill. 

The birds still flit from bush and bower, 
Or graceful sway on bending boughs; 

Still from the hills, when shadows lower 
Sound tinkhng bells of grazing cows. 

Sweet waters bubble in the spring 
And sweeter berries ripen near. 

And, as of yore, the children bring 

Oif each, their teacher's heart to cheer. 

And still when comes the noontide hour, 
All sail on pleasure's swollen stream. 

The teacher yields her sceptered power, 
And mirlh and freedom rule supreme. 

The boys with bustle storm and shout, 
Still speed to tests of strength and skill, 

Or roam, as then, the hills about. 
Led on by fancy's own sweet \nll; 

The girls still string fair daisy chains, 
And deftly braid the rushes sweet. 

And deck the hats of favorite swains. 
While partial glances shift and meet. 

And from the mammoth bowlder white. 
Where rudely carved is many a name, 

Young orators, with broken flight. 
Still soar away to realms of fame. 

And just as then, with happy look, 
The children dance upon the green, 

Or gaily sail adown the brook 

Their birch-bark boats of silver sheen. 



MILUKENS OF WILTON AND SHARON, N. //. 261 



But statlcrcd wide of life's rough sea, — 
Or anchored by the golden gates, — 

Are they who sailed of old with me 
Along those happy halcyon straits. 

Yet green and dear, in storm and shine, 
Till life's December ebbs and ends, 

Will be those days of "auld lang syne," 

When life was May and friends were friends. 

And old .-Xcaflemy scenes come back, 

And faces fond before me rise. 
That long have lighted memor\''s track 

.\nd held my heart with tender ties. 

Those dear old walls with proud renown, 
Still grace the brow of "Science Hill," 

Where, bright above the throbbing town. 
The torch of learning burneth still. 

Romantic walled, by happy fate, 

"The clustering spires" of Springfield rise, 
Where foaming waters congregate, 

To speed the wheels of enterprise. 

The rainbow's arch o'erhang the Falls; 

Below the foam-flakes Hghtly sail; 
The weary moss hangs on the walls 

Down which her tears forever trail. 

And gazing down the stream remote. 
Where cooling shadows kiss the shores, 

I see a happy freighted boat, 

With pleasure dipping light the oars. 

And floating slowly down the stream, 

A glossy duck I nearer spy. 
While bending branches nod and gleam, 

Above the river's mirrored sky. . 

On yonder slopes graze peaceful flocks; 

In ripeness bends the golden grain; 
The grapes are purpling on the rocks, 

Slow homeward winds the lumbering wain. 

A dreamy haze veils hill and plain, 

A dreamy look all nature wears; 
.\ dreamy wave creeps o'er my brain 

And drowns the faintest dream of cares. 

The downy ghosts of vanished flowers 

Are sailing slowly o'er the vale; 
The partridge drums in leafy bowers. 

And distant pipes the whistling quail. 

On snow-white seas the buckwheat nod 
.^nd sip the bees — in dreaming lost; 

While flashing plumes of golden-rod 
P'oretell the coming reign of frost. 

The orchards glow with ripened fruit; 

The squirrels chatter in the trees; 
The sumac dons a brighter suit 

As .Autumn whispers in the breeze. 



262 MILLIKE NS OF WILTOIV AND SHARON, N H. 

Soon woodbine fires will stream high up 
The trees and creep along the wall; 

The autumn browns the acorn's cup, 
And golden leaves begin to fall. 

The languid heart of Summer, faint, 
In murmurs soft of shrunken rills 

Pours out her dreamy, dull complaint 
Adown the brown and circling hills. 

There roamed of yore the chieftain free, 
And loudly wound the hunter's horn; 

Where dusky lovers danced in glee 

Now graceful waves the tasselled corn. 

P"ar distant sounds the rumbling train. 
Nor breaks the peaceful slumbers deep, 

Where on the turf-crowned, daisied plain. 
The village dead together sleep. 

There rest the sturdy men of yore. 
Who proudly swung the flail and axe. 

Whose liint-locks guarded well each door 
Nor king could wring from them a tax. 

True men! whom nature taught to tread 
The mountain steep, the forest wide; 

Who scorned the path of ease, and led 
The van in freedom's flowing tide. 

There silent sleep those noble dames 
Whose' hearts a kindred fire had caught. 

While from the morn to sunset flames, 
The blue-eyed flax they deftly wrought. 

Their sons, who later fought in blu'.\ 
And sires, who stood with Allen, meet. 

To rest in peace and honor true. 

Their country's flag their winding sheet. 

With solemn service round their tombs. 
As each returning Spring appears, 

Full garlands sweet — May's fairest blooms — 
And veterans drop their silent tears. 

There roses bloom above the dust. 
To me my blood and memory dear; 

And there in God's good time entrust. 
Ye fates, the clay that crowns m\- bier. 

The orange robes of evening trail 
Along the peaceful valley's rim; 

On high the cloud-ships slowly sail; 
Below the swallows circling skim. 

The falling waters chant sublime 
Their songs of everlasting life; 

The rapids blend a softer chime ■ 
And men forget their babbling strile. 

The river's breatli makes cool my brow 
And sheds around perpetual dews; 

The King of Day forgets his vow. 
Nor longer paints in rainbow hues.

He brightly gilds the village spires, 
Then soft and still away he hies 

To light anew his mountain fires 
And burnish up the western skies. 

His flames o'er sombre forests crowds 
Swec]) grandly to the mountain's crest, 

Beneath a gorgeous robe of clouds, 
Then calm and slow he sinks to rest. 

The sunllower bows her stately head — 
Her golden lashes folds — and sighs, 

Because she thinks the lover dead 

Her heart has worshipped in the skies. 

The shy mimosa feels a dart — 

Her cjuivering hands together close — 

For like the complex human heart, 
A shadow's lightest touch she knows. 

As fainter grows the dying day 

A softer tinge o'ersprcads the west; 

The whispering leaves grow tired of play; 
Nor longer swings the hang-bird's nest. 

The breath of flowers perfumes the air; 

The bees, by straightest lines and swift, 
Their honied treasures hiveward bear 

From fields where clovers bloom and dritt. 

The cuckoo calls with softer ring; 

The crows now slowly homeward f^y; 
The hawk sails low, on noiseless wing, 

And tlirough the pines soft breezes sigh. 

The patient ox, relieved from toil. 
With pawing hoof and plowing horn 

Upturns the turfy pasture soil, 
To test his freedom, newly born. 

Behind the cows — that wend the lane, 
With kindly look and matron ways — 

The grandsirc walks, with oaken cane, 
And thoughts that stray to other days. 

Belated farm teams, line on line 

Now homeward turn from store and mill 

While insect bands, with music fine 
And quaint, begin their evening drill. 

Like some strange goblin of a dream 
The blundering bat the soft air cleaves; 

The fields with dancing midges team; 
And there's a twitter 'neath the eaves. 

On flapping wing the night hawks peep 
Amid the gathering dews and damps, 

Or downward dive with whirring sweep. 
Where fireflies swing their evening lamps. 

The lilies their white banners furl; 

The brown thrush sings her sweetest sc^ng; 
On tipsy wing the beetles whirl. 

And shadowy spectres round us throng. 

The frogs their trombone chorus pour; 
The treetoad sounds his favorite trill; 



264 MILLIKENS OF WILTON AND SHARON, N IL 

And echoes clear, from hill and shore, 
The lonely cry of the whip-poor-will. 

The crickets pipe with merry hearts; 

The robin chants his evening hymn; 
With dew-wet feet the day departs, 

EnwTapped in shadows gray and dim. 

The mellow chime of evening bells 

Floats softly on the dewy air; 
The silent march of Time re-tells, 

And calls the grateful heart to prayer. 



Now TwiHght fair, with pensive mien. 
Steals softly from the darkening west. 

And, hovering night and day between. 
Gives to the weary hamlet rest. 

She gently stays the hum of mills 
Where genii wave their fairy wands; 

The heart with freedom bounding thrill? 
Beneath the sway of softer hands. 

She gathers home to hill and dale 
The thrifty sons of toil and thought, 

And over mountain, rill, and vale 

She walks with peace and mercy fraught. 

She cools the heated brow of pain; 

She soothes the lonely heart of grief; 
She checks the race for greed and gain, 

And gives from care a sweet relief. 

She brings the boatman to the shore; 

Calls home the dove to coo and croon; 
She clasps fond lovers' hands once more 

Beneath the rising mellow moon. 

She brings the sire a welcome sweet — 
From meny babes and waiting wife — 

That scatters roses round his feet. 
And lightens all the toils of life. 

She wraps the hills in mists above. 

While one by one, like stars of heaven, 

A thousand village lights flash out 
Their bright electric-beams of even. 

The fireside — dearest spot on earth — 
She circles with a merry throng; 

She lights the eye of youth with mirth, 
And cheers the heart of age ^vith song. 

She fills again the vacant seat. 

Where meet the gathered household-band, 
With vanished forms we used to greet 

So oft, close clasping hand in hand. 

She calls back life's unclouded spring, 
When free and stainless was the soul; 

She bids fond memories round us cling 
And tender thoughts the heart control. 

And angel eyes, with wondrous light. 

Forsaking flowery fields above. 
Come peering through the veil of night, 

And shed o'er all the beams of love.

They have three children, named as follows: 

I. Helen Louisa Milliken', b. in Brandon, \'t., Jan. 5, 1864, and m. 
Edward A. Winchester. She was educated in the public schools of 
Maiden, Mass., a private Maiden school and the Emerson Schcjol of 
Elocution and Oratory in Boston, from which she graduated with high 
honors. She early showed special talent as a reader and was strongly 
urged by Professor Emerson to go upon the public ])Iatform as such. 
But her tastes ran more to art work, in which she had displayed uncom- 
mon promise in early childhood. She received art instruction for 
several terms from such well-known Boston artists as Miss Knowlton 
(Hunt's favorite pupil) and Miss Martin. While in her 'teens she did 
remunerative art work for the Robinson Engraving Company, of Boston, 
for a period of several years. On June 10, 1886, she married Edward A. 
Winchester, son of Fitz E. and Lydia (Smith) Winchester, of Maiden, 
Mass. She did not with her marriage lose her interest in her brush 
and palette, but developed such decided e.xcellence in oil and water 
colors, that she has received and e.xecuted a large variety of work for 
leading parties in Boston and elsewhere. She has three children. Dur- 
ing the summer of 1904 Mrs. Winchester and her son, Ralph, a young 
man of seventeen, went on a foreign tour through England, Scotland, 
France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Holland. She has delivered 
several public addresses, of a high order of literary merit, and written 
much for the press both in prose and poetry. The children are: 
(i) Ralph E. Winchester, h. in Maiden, Mass., Nov. i, 1887. 

(2) Ruth Winchester, b. in Maiden, Mass., Jan. 23, 1889. 

(3) Edna Winchester, b. in ^Maiden, Mass., June 11, 1892.

wood Grammar School of Maiden, Mass. Ill health from accidental 
injury prevented her from receiving further schooling. Had Fate given 
her health and proper educational advantages she could easily have 
become a popular pubhc reader. When she was but seven her father 
asked her to write a good motto, and she wrote: "Do Something." 
She has been doing "Something" ever since, and largely for the good of 
others, being Superintendent of the" Junior Christian Endeavor Society," 
and of the "Maiden Flower Mission," and having the power and tact 
to inspire and lead children to catch her own spirit of high and unselfish 
endeavor. One child, Mildred Flora, h. at Maiden, Mass., Alay 16, 1893. 

III. Carl Spencer Milliken', b. in ^Maiden, Mass., Jan. 27, 1876; m. 
Florence La Tourette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard B. La 
Tourette of Ripon, Wis., on Christmas Day, 1902, at Fenton, Mich. 
They first met as teachers in Flint, Mich. He graduated from the Mai- 
den, Mass., High School as president of his class, and of the Literary 
Society. He immediately entered the Institute of Technology, Boston, 
and graduated therefrom in the class of 1899, in the Biological Depart- 
ment. In the following September he took charge of the Scientific 
Department of the Flint, Mich., High School, where he remained two 
years. He then became a teacher in the Scientific Department of the 
Lawrence, Mass., High School. After two years he was chosen to the

chair of Biology in Ripon College, Wis., where he now resides. One 
son, Sheldon Spencer, b. at Ripon, Wis., Dec. 28, 1903. 

4. Royal Bellows Milliken*' (3), third son of RoyaP (2), b. in Springfield, \i., 
Apr. 15, 1839, a few months after his father's death; d., unm., at Brandon, \i., 
Feb. 7, 1868, of consumption (occasioned by undue exposure as a pubHc speaker 
before outdoor gatherings). When but four years of age he met with an acci- 
dent that resulted in long years of sickness and made him a cripple for life. 
When the Civil War broke out, he was in charge of a salesroom in St. Louis for 
his brothers. St. Louis was then a hot-bed of secessionists, and young Milliken 
threw his whole soul into the Union cause. He was one of the speakers at a 
Union meeting when the secessionists invaded their hall, put the lights out and 
tore down the platform on which he was speaking. The unionists "held the 
fort" and flag, however, relighted the hall, expelled or silenced the secession- 
ists and went on with their Union rally. The war compelling the closing of his 
office in St. Louis, Royal went upon the platform as a speaker at Union rallies 
in Ilhnois and Indiana, and later assisted the Union cause in other directions. 
He walked seven miles on his crutch to get upon the battlefield of Antietam to 
help care for the wounded; and it was his melancholy fortune to be one of the 
witnesses of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. He was for some time 
Grand Lecturer of the Sons of Temperance for eastern New York, and was 
everywhere hailed as "an able and eloquent speaker."

Alexander Milliken, a Scotchman by birth, came to the North of Ireland early 
in life with three of his brothers, and all were at the memorable siege of Lon- 
donderry, in 1689, he alone surviving. He died at his home at Castledawson, 
or Dawson Bridge, on the river Boyne, and was buried with military honors. 
Two sons, William and Alexander, — possibly others, as tradition says one went 
South — came to New England, and made permanent settlement. See " Milli- 
kens of Wilton, N. H.," as recorded in preceding pages. 

I. William Millikan (1), a son of Alexander (1), was b. at Castledawson, Treland> 
in 1726; m. Mary McKxight, daughter of Robert and Morgan McKnight, al' 
Protestants, and of Scottish stock. He came to America early in the nineteenth 
century, about 1750, and first sat down at East Windsor, Conn. He and family 
went to Belfast, Ireland, to take passage on the same ship, with the same master 
with w^hom his wife's parents had crossed the Atlantic the year previous. By 
some unknown reason they were delayed in that city for six weeks at a heavy 
expense. During the voyage there was a terrible storm, and for fourteen days 
and nights neither sun nor stars were seen. The passage was long and dreary, 
and while on the ocean Mary's first child was born, died, and buried beneath the 
waves. She was attended during her confinement by a nurse of great skill and 
kindness, and was made as comfortable as her circumstances would admit of. 
From East Windsor the family, with some of the McKnights,* came to Wash- 
ington, Berkshire Co., Mass., about 1768, and were among the pioneers of that 
town. William Millikan d. Mar. 6, 1788, aged 63. Mary, his wife, d. May 
10, 1813, aged 81. She spent her last days with the widow of her son Alexan- 
der, as did her mother, Morgan McKnight. Children, as far as known, eight 
in number, named as follows:

also a soldier of the Revolution in Capt. Asa Stower's Co., John Brown's Reg't. 

* Three McKnight brothers — James, John, and Robert — came from Ireland to America. 
John was manj^ years a merchant in New London, Conn, James settled in the western part 
of Washington, Mass., where he died in 1799, aged 82 years; Sarah, his wife, died in 1812, 
aged 86. Kobert McKnight married Morgan and settled in East Windsor, Conn., and soon 
sent for their daughter Mary and her husband, William Millikan. Robert was born in 1699 
and died in 1776, aged 77 years; his widow died Jan. 22, i8or, aged 100 years and 10 months.

Robert Milliken and his wife Margaret McCreary, called "Peggy" in old 
documents, came from the North of Ireland long before the Revolution and set- 
tled in Sullivan or Ulster Co., N. Y. ; some say in 1760. He built his loghouse 
on the land since known as the " Stephen Norris Place." Their neighbors were 
Indians, and "the alluvial banks of the Shawaugunk were thickly covered with 
wigwams." Near, was a cluster of fruit trees planted by red men, called " Indian 
orchard." 

Robert Milliken secured a concession of land containing 4,000 acres described 
as "beginning at a white oak tree about one mile and one-half from Blooms- 
burg, Sullivan County, and extending to an oak tree near Walden, in Orange 
County." 

He served with Schuyler and Gates in the Burgoyne campaign during the 
Revolutionary struggle, leaving his wife and children at his home on an exposed 
frontier. When hostilities commenced, the Indians moved back to the moun- 
tains and never returned except on some predatory incursion. At one time the 
neighborhood was threatened with an invasion, and the wife of Robert Milliken 
secreted a stock of provision under the cabin floor, took her children on horse- 
back, and fled to the settlement on the Wallkill, where she remained until the 
savages were driven away; then she returned to her home and found everything 
as when she took her departure. 

After peace was declared and Mr. Milliken had returned to his home, he was 
elected assessor and pound-master. He also served as supervisor from 1789 to 
1796. When he made his will, Sept. 16, 1796, he was styled: "Robert Milhken 
of the town of Manicating, County of Ulster and state of New York." He be- 
queathed to his loving wife, two cows and one horse, or mare, and saddle; also, 
inler alia, one hundred pounds current money and her maintenance out of his 
estate so long as she remained his widow. His executors were David Milliken 
and Marcus Crosby of Montgomery, and Nicholas Hardenburg of Shawau- 
gunk. He was a slaveholder. 

Note. — The vital records, probably preserved in some branch of the family, have not 
been found and, consequently, the pedigree will be deficient of dates. His descendants, 
with one or two exceptions, though many times applied to, have manifested a stupid or wilful 
indifference and have obstinately refused to reply to the compiler's letters. The postage 
stamps he enclosed were kept and, presumably, used for some more interesting or remuner- 
ative correspondence; hence, the brief explanation must answer as an apology for the meagre 
records and descriptive matter presented.

CHILDREN OF ROBERT AND MARGARET McCREARY. 

I. Hannah MuUikin'- (1), eldest daughter of Robert^ (I), was m. to William

will her father gave Hannah one hundred and sixty pounds current money of 
New York, together with her mare and saddle and bridle; she was then unmar- 
ried. She was the mother of five sons and two daughters, of whom with " Milli- 
gans'of Stockbridge, Mass.," presently to appear.

hundred and sixty pounds to be paid by David, her brother, out of the estate; 
one-half at time oi marriage, the remainder two years afterwards. Xo recorrls 
have ])een found. 

4- Isabella Milliken'- (1), fourth daughter of Robert^ (1), was m. to Dr. In- 
crease Crosby, of Hopewell, Orange Co., N. Y., and had children. A grand- 
son, named Millikex Crosby, is now living at Thompson's Ridge, in said 
county, who has not replied to any inquiry. Isabella received only fifty pounds 
by her father's will. 

5. Martha Milliken- (1). fifth daughter of Robert^ (1), was m. to William Oil-

age, has furnished much now embraced in this pedigree. 

7. David Milliken" (1), eldest son of Robert^ (1), b. before the Revolution, was 
carried away on horseback when his mother fled from the Indians. He was a 
man of some prominence, as the township records show. Was supervisor from

Montgomery, by whom two sons and two daughters. See 3d generation. 

8. John Milliken^ (1), second son of Robert* (1), seems to have been a man 
who was held in respect by his contemporaries. He was elected supervisor and 
served for several years. In his will his father bequeathed to him "All that 
part of my real estate lying and being on the north side of the road leading from 
Bedfords to New Shawaugunk, beginning at the hne of William Cro.sse's land 
and running on a straight line through the field north of said road," etc. His 
father also gave him a negro boy, and ordains that this son (John) shall be 
under guardianship of his executors until of full age.

who d. when her children were small, he was carried by his grandmother to 
Orange Co., N. Y., and hence did not know much of the family history. He 
was subsequently a student in the University of New York, and became a pro- 
fessional and successful lawyer, his legal practice being principally confined to 
New York City. He was always interested in politics, and was a member of the

The compiler of this volume regrets that he cannot present a more compre- 
hensive account of a branch of the Milliken family whose history and bioj^aaphy 
would evidently conduce so much of interest to its contents; but the following 
abstracts from three letters are all that is available. The literary character of 
these instructive epistles is an evidence of education, and the business connec- 
tions of the three brothers a guarantee of their enterprising s])irit. We cannot 
avoid the impression that this family was in some way, and not remotely, related 
to the Dromore branch of Alillikins so early settled in Washington Co., Pa. 

I quote from the letters of Samuel H. ]Milliken who was, in 1893, "President 
of the Interstate Railway Construction Company's Land Department" and lo- 
cated at Dallas, Tex. He wrote: "My know-ledge of our family is quite meagre 
on account of my father's drifting westward and not leaving any reliable record 
of his ancestry in our hands. From memory of relations made casually by my 
father, Edward Milhken, and his sister Jane, who Hved with us in her old age, 
it seems that my grandfather, William Milliken, and his brother Samuel, had to 
escape from the north of Ireland about the time of Emmett's rebellion and came 
to New York. My father having acquired education as a physician removed to 
Washington Co., Penn., where he married Jeannette Knox; thence to Vir- 
ginia, Ohio, and finally to Texas, where he died in 1868. So you see I am in the 
dark as to a matter that naturally would be quite interesting to me. 

" I shall be pleased to have the advantage of such information as your book 
will supply, and will remit the price for a copy when published. If in compar- 
ing items we dovetail into the genealogy I should be inclined to have my father's 
picture in the work. I shall be pleased to hear from you and to assist you in 
any way I can." 

Replying to requests for dates of births, marriages and deaths, with biograph- 
ical data, he wrote: "Not having any rehable data available and being im- 
pressed with the idea that what little I know of our branch of the family would 
not be germane nor interesting to those for whom your work is mainly intended, 
I shall not endeavor to collate the details that w-ould necessarily be quite im- 
perfect and unsatisfactory. I shall take interest in what your work discovers as 
to the family name, and enclose an order for the book." 

His brother, James H. Milliken, writing from El Paso, Tex., July 2, 1894, 
said: "My father, Dr. Edward Milliken, was raised in Brooklyn, educated in 
New York, married Jennie Knox in Washington Co., Pa., lived for thirty years 
in Ohio, and in 1859, came to Texas. Died in 1868. 

"There are living now, three brothers in Texas, trying to see w^hat we can 
make out of Texas and Mexico, principally Mexico." 

His letter-head represents him as a "Mining Broker," and his "ad." reads: 
" Gold Mines in Mexico for Sale or Lease."

John Milliken came with several brothers from the north of Ireland about 1776, 
and first sat down somewhere in the state of Rhode Island, where he married an 
Enghsh woman. Some of the beforementioned brothers settled in the eastern 
and some in the western states, or in Pennsylvania. John MiUiken finally 
located at Catskill, Greene Co., N. Y., where his children were born. 

Hezekiah Milliken, son of the preceding, was born at Catskill, N. Y., and when 
a boy was taken by a man named Crosswell as an office servant, and his educa- 
tional expenses were paid by an uncle. When about 20 years of age he married 
a widow whose maiden name was Mary Perry of Perry's Point, across from 
Catskill, her husband, William Henry Harriss, having been killed by the Indians. 
By her first husband she had two children, Emilise and William. By Mr. Mil- 
liken there were fourteen children of whom more presently. The following is 
copied from a very singular and interesting letter received from the son and 
namesake of the subject of this sketch, of date, " Leamington, Ontario, Canada, 
June 9, 1902. My father's brothers, James and John, were the only ones I 
ever saw. In 1832, uncle John came to our house at Bristol, on the Hudson 
river, but would not enter, waiting without until my father was through with his 
breakfast; then the two went down on the bank of the river, taking me with them 
and seating me on a big bowlder between them. I remember the conversation 
that passed between them. My father asked uncle John what he wanted of 
him and he answered, ' I came to redeem you.' ' In what way ? ' asked Hezekiah. 
Then uncle John promised my father a good farm comprising all the land he 
wanted if he 'would straighten up.' He was a lawyer and addicted to drink. 
But Hezekiah resented this offer of assistance. Then his brother said, ' Give me 
this boy and I wiU make a man out of him.' Father said, 'No, he is my name- 
sake, but you can have any of the rest.' As my father was about to leave my 
uncle John and started abruptly for the house, he (uncle John) laid his hand on 
my head and said, 'I have no children, and, boy, I will remember you.' My 
father afterward told me that uncle John was very rich. 

"About the year 1853, while I was working in the nail mills between Green- 
bush and Troy, N. Y., a stranger came and inquired for a family named Mil- 
liken. I was working nights and he came over to my house. I asked him what 
he wanted and he said he had some important papers for me in his trunk in a 
baggage car, from my uncle John Milliken in the West. He was asked to leave 
these documents for me at the ' Mansion House' in Troy. In a few days I called 
for them, but the proprietor said the stranger took them away the day before. 
While I was at work in the Rolling Mills in Auburn, N. Y., this man appeared 
and inquired for me of the superintendent. When I was pointed out, he said 
I had a hot job and that when he returned from Europe, whither he was then 
going, I would not have to work so hard. His next appearance was at Wyan- 
dotte, Mich. He inquired of the boss for me, and when I was pointed out said 
he only wanted to keep track of me. Nothing has since been heard from him. 
Uncle John MiUiken died at West Camp, N. Y., and was buried there. I 
want to find out where his will is recorded." 

Hezekiah MiUiken died about the year 1838, and was buried at Saugerties, 
Ulster Co., N. Y. His wife died about three years later. They then lived in a 
little town near Saugerties named Bristol. Children's names, Hannah, Sarah, 
Rachel, Charlotte, Hezekiah, James, and Richard.

5. Charlotte Milliken^. daughter of Hezekiah- (1), was m. to Myers Brink. 

6. James Milliken^, son of Hezekiah- (1), was rail-roller in the iron mills, and 
d. about 1876. He left a family. Wife's name unknown, 

7. Richard Milliken^, son of Hezekiah^ (1), was a seaman and circumnavigated 
the globe two or three times; came back to Saugerties, N. Y., and m.; became a 
Presbyterian minister and preached at Kingston, N. Y., where he d. and was 
buried. His wife, whose name does not appear, was of Flatbush, N. Y. He 
had issue. 

The familv records were destroyed at the time the British burned Kingston, 
N. Y., which then contained the State House wherein all documents relating to 
the early proprietors were deposited. The family tradition handed down from 
father to son, assigns to this branch of the clan a French origin. When Na- 
thaniel IMilliken 2d was distributing his household goods after the death of his 
v.ife, an old Dutch chest was found and he remarked that it had been brought 
from Holland by some of his ancestors. He was then asked if the Millikens were 
Dutch, and he answered, "No; they are of French descent, but the chest and 
china came from the Trumpores, who were Dutch." 

The Millikens were early extensive land owners but in some way failed to 
secure a vahd title to their estates, or lost the record of their claim, and others 
settled there. We do not know certainly the name of the emigrant head of this 
family, but there is an old parchment deed preserved among the rehques and his- 
toric documents at Washington's Headquarters, Newburg, N. Y., of date 1758, 
to John Milliken, deposited by Clark Galatian, and the appended note in the 
Catalogue says Milliken and Samuel Crawford were early settlers on the patent 
to Jas. Alexander in the town of Montgomery. As the lands of the original 
Nathaniel Milhken lay some six miles back of Newburg, where the patent was 
located, we may assume with plausibihty that this John Milliken was the emi- 
grant ancestor, and in the face of the family tradition the compiler of this volume 
will assume that the family came direct from Scotland or the north of Ireland 
along with other AliUikens who settled in the same and adjoining counties. 
Crawford, Alexander, and Montgomery are Scotch and Scotch-Irish surnames. 
They were descended maternally, as will appear, from the Dutch family of 
Trumi)ore, but the alliance was in the State of New York. These Millikens were 
slaveholders, and a descendant now living remembers the last of the " ^Nlilhken 
Niggers," a very old colored man who died when he was a boy. The ISIilliken 
estate included Orange Lake and the surrounding lands. It was in Ulster 
County, now Orange County, N. Y. 

Nathaniel Milliken^, from whom the families in and about Newburg, N. Y., are 
descended in a direct line was an officer in the Revolutionary army and was 
killed at the battle of Fort Montgomery. He had an only child. 
Nathaniel Milliken'', who married Katherine Trumpore of Dutch blood, by 
whom he had four children, namely, Maria, Nathaniel, Margaret, and Edmund..

John Millikin, born in Ireland, probably on the Isle Magee, went from Bel- 
fast to Scotland when about eighteen years of age. His parents' names are not 
known. There is a tradition that three of his brothers came to America direct 
from Ireland, but his surviving sons do not know of such relatives. John went 
to Kilmarnock, Scotland. W'as apprenticed to a shoemaker in early hfe, but 
confinement at the bench did not agree with his active temperament, and he 
abandoned the craft. He had a small store at Kilmarnock at one time. Was 
very fond of running horses, an expert rider, and followed the races until too 
heavy for the saddle. Was a farmer. He married J.^net Reid, a native of 
Ayrshire, and lived near Kilmarnock until 1844, when the family — save two 
sons who had .sailed in 184T, and one who remained in Scotland another year — 
embarked on the ship "Brilliant" with six hundred passengers, for America. 
They were nine weeks on the ocean and for six weeks did not see land. John 
Reid, a nephew of Mrs. Millikin, came with them. They landed at Detroit, 
Mich., but removed to now Almont, and joined the "Scotch Settlement" there 
when the country w-as covered with a wilderness and when Indians abounded. 
Among the emigrant settlers were families named Jenniss, Shaw, Bement. Rogers, 
Outchers, and IngHss. Sometimes the emigrants, following an Indian trail, a 
hundred in a day, would water their {)onies at the Millikins' well, and many 
tarried with the family through the night, sleeping ui)on the lloor. The land was 
good, the forest was cut away and fruitful fields e.xpanded into broad farms.

Thomas Milligan o{ Tyrone County, Ireland, descended from old Covenanting 
stock, married in that lounty an estimalile iaily named Mitchell, and had 
issue six sons and one dauj^hter. These all came to Canada durin<^ the building 
of the Welland Canal, having; taken a contract for work thereon, and settled in 
Ontario, near Floydstown, where they entered an extensive tract of land in the 
vicinity of which they and their destendants, with one exception, devoted them- 
selves to agricultural ])ursuits, and accjuired by industry and that frugality 
characteristic of their race, a good competency of this world's goods. They were 
of a placid, contented mind; a law-abiding. God-fearing class of citizens, priding 
themselves upon having characters above reproach. The names of the children 
were William, James, John, Thomas, Joseph, Robert, and Jane. 
William Milligan- (1), son of ThomasS did not long remain in Canada, but lo- 
cated in Washington and Fayette Counties, Pennsylvania, and acxjuired consider- 
able property in the vicinity of Washington, Cannonsburg, and Millsboro, his 
homestead being located on Fayette side of the Monongahela river, a fine farm 
from which a magnificent view of the surrounding country, embracing the Blue 
Ridge Range of the Alleghany Mountains, could be had. He built and owned 
the first dam and waterpower on the Monongahela and operated a gristmill, 
sawmill and boatyard on the Fayette County side for a number of years in part- 
nership with his son Thomas. Fie also had a contract on the National Turn- 
pike from Cumberland over the mountains. 

He was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, about the year 1797 ; came to Canada

Emanuel Millikin and his four sons from one of the southern counties of Scot- 
land, })robably Ayrshire or Dumfrieshire, went with \Mlham of Orange as 
soldiers into Ireland, and fought at the Battle of Boyne, July 12, 1690. In con- 
sideration of their noble service they received a grant of land in the Parish of 
Killenumery, County Leitrim, with homestead at Drumduff, three miles west 
of Drumnahare, near the county of Shgo line, and some ten miles from the city of 
that name from whence so many families of the Millikins have sailed for Amer- 
ica. It has always been an agricultural district and the Millikins who have 
lived there have been farmers. Emanuel ^lillikin spent the remainder of his 
days on his grant of land. The name of his wife is not known nor the time of 
his death. Somewhere not distant from his home, in an old churchyard, and 
unmarked by any inscribed monument, the mortal remains of the old and hon- 
ored soldier were laid to rest. There is an old family tradition that has been 
told at the firesides of hundreds of the Millikin homes, that runs as follows: A 
mother had lost several of her sons by death in infancy, and dreamed that if 
she would name the babe then sleeping at her side Emaxuel, it would be 
spared and grow to manhood; this she did, and the son became an honor to 
Ms parents. This name was considered so sacred that it has been handed down 
through no less than eight generations of this Millikin family, and is still borne 
by the descendants. 

When John jMiUikin of Ohio visited Ireland, in i860, as administrator on the 
estate of his kinsman, Charles Millikin, he procured a full copy of the original 
land grant, or lease, and we had anticipated its publication in this volume, but 
the document cannot be found. John Millikin also caused to be examined the 
registers in the parishes of Killenumery, Killerry, Coolony, Ballysummiton, 
Drumnahare and Balhntocher, but found no vital records of an early date. The 
records for the parish of Killenumery only go back to 1810. The only inscribed 
monument known to exist in the neighborhood is at the grave of an Emanuel 
Millikin, who died March 17, 1798, aged 74 years. At the disestabhshment of 
the church of Ireland in 1870, the Parish Registers were handed over to the 
Registrar General and lodged in the Pubhc Record Office in Dubhn, and the only 
available documents are the Census Records to be found in the Free Public 
Library, in Belfast. 

The descendants of Emanuel Milhkin, the first known head of this family, 
are now scattered into Scotland, England, Canada, United States, and Austra- 
lasia, and must be numbered by thousands. They ha\e developed the peculiar 
traits of character so conspicuous in the Scotch, and Scotch-Irish, people. Dur- 
ing the Methodist reformations in Ireland, many of the MiUikins became com- 
municants of that church, and the families in Canada and the State of Ohio are 
nearly all of this faith. 

Many to whom the compiler has forwarded letters of inquiry with postage 
enclosed for rej^ly, have persistently declined to furnish any information, and 
this must be the only apology for the imperfect condition of the record. 

I. Emanuel Milliken" (2), son of EmanueP (1), was b. in the Lowlands of Scot-

land as early as 1670, and fought by the side of liis father and hrulhcrs at the 
lioyne. under William of Orange, July 12, i6go. He was married, — to whom 
we do not know, — .and settled on the land grant in county Leitrim, Ireland. 

Til the American pedigree this man is re|)resented to be the father of Thomas, 
Richard, and Roger, whose families came to Canada and the United States. 
This cannot be correct; they were born too late. There was another Emanuel 
Millikin. whose gravestone stands in the Killenumery parish churchyard, and 
tlic inscription shows that he was born in 1724, and died Mar. 17, 1798, aged 
74 vears. Tliis man was also too early born to have been the father of Thomas, 
Richard, and Roger, although he must have been of the thirrl generation. We 
are convinced that there are missing links in the pedigree written out by John 
Millikin of Ohio, but in the absence of dates it is now impossible to make proper 
connections. 

2. John Millikin" (1), second son of EmanueP (1), came with his father and 
brothers from the Lowlands of Scotland, and fought at the battle of Boyne, 
lulv 12, i6go, being then a young man. We do not know where this son took 
up his residence. He had three sons (probably daughters also) named Thomas, 
Christopher and John. See 3d generation. 

3. David Millikin" (1), third son of EmanueU (1), also came to Ireland with 
William of Orange, and was in the battle of Boyne, July 12, 1690. His wife's 
name does not appear. He settled in County Sligo, and had issue three sons 
(probaljly daughters) named Patrick, David, and Emanuel, of whom with 3d 
generation. 

4. James Millikin" (1), fourth son of Emanuel* (1), went from the Lowlands of 
Scotland with his father and brothers when young, and fought with them in 
King William's army at the battle of Boyne; and after the war settled some- 
where in the north of Ireland. His family came to the United States, and may 
have been identical with the ^Nlillikins in Washington and Greene Counties, Penn., 
who came from near Dromore, County Down, Ireland.

2. Thomas Millikin^ (2), second son of EmanueP (2), b. in County Sligo, or 
Leitrim, Ireland, as early as 1785; was m. to Mary Boon (one says Elizabeth 
Boon) and lived on a farm. He d. in Ireland, and his widow and children came 
to .\merica, settHng mostly in Ohio. Mrs. Milhkin d. in Johnston, O., at the

3. Roger Millikin' (1), third son of Emanuel- (2), was b. in County of Sligo,

aged 94 years. Mr. ISIillikin d. in the prime of life in Ireland, while his children

were small, his youngest son, George, being only three months old. They li^■ed 
in an Episcopal parish near the towns of Ballintocher and Drumnahare, and 
about 8 miles from Sligo City, close to Leitrim county line. The farm was 
leased from Landlord Farrell, who, becoming reduced in circumstances, came 
to live in the MiUikin house. The family then went over the Leitrim line, and 
bought a piece of land and built a plain stone house, but continued to shelter 
their horses and cows in Landlord Farrell's barns. Here Mrs. MiUikin lived 
with her children until 1831, when they sold out and sailed for Canada. 

The principal cause for leaving Ireland was Roman CathoUc persecution. 
A Miss Farrell, the daughter of Landlord Farrell, was converted under Metho- 
dist instrumentality in the city of Sligo, and opened a Sabbath school in one of 
the rooms of Mrs. jNIillikin's house. This so exasperated the Romanists in the 
neighborhood that they commenced to disturb the family. At one time they 
scattered their hay over the farm. Then their hired man, who was a Catholic, 
informed them that the Protestants would all be murdered on a certain night. 
Thomas and John Milhkin put their guns in order and placed them by the head 
of their bed, and one night while John was awake, he heard a window smashed 
and shouted to Thomas, "Wake up, the boys have come!" They instantly 
seized their guns and made ready to fire on the assailants, but they fled; not, 
however, until they had destroyed every window in the house save one. At 
another time the Catholics made an attempt to burn the MiUikin house. 

About this time Emanuel MiUikin had returned to Ireland from Canada on 
business, and advised Mrs. MiUikin to seU out and come to America; this she did, 
with the expectation of sailing on the same ship with this kinsman, but he was 
detained, and she with her children, in company with another Mrs. MiUikin and 
family, crossed the Atlantic. They sailed up the St. Lawrence to Montreal, 
and from that city to Brookville. The vessel was towed by horses and oxen. 
They were two days making a journey of thirty miles between Brookville and 
Smiths Falls, where a niece of Mrs. MiUikin's, a Mrs. Robert Walker, resided. 
Here land was purchased and a shanty put up : a low storied affair, covered with 
spUt logs, hollowed out to carry off the rain. This was afterwards enlarged and 
shingled. The mother remained on the farm with her son John until 1847, or 
1848, when she went to visit her sons who had settled in Ohio; she returned to' 
her Canadian home in 1863. Children's names, Thomas, John, Richard, Alex- 
ander, Roger, George. 

4. Richard Emanuel Millikin'' (1), son of EmanueP (2), b. in Killargue? in

John who m. Sarah Johnston, while the American pedigree makes him a 
brother. In the absence of dates we cannot settle this cjucstion.

woman of rare strength of character, of magnificent physical development, and

homestead was a rendezvous for all in need. They kept open house and hearth 
with the prodigal hospitality characteristic of the pioneers, but left their large

remains, at the age of 90, in comparatively good health. He helped build the 
first Methodist church at Smiths P'alls, and was class leader, steward, and

beUion and spent his honeymoon in the army at Brookville, while his bride re- 
mained on the farm with his mother.

his kinswoman, who afterwards became his wife, and her brother, John B. 
MiUikin. For several years he worked on the Ohio and Pennsylvania canal, 
as stone mason, in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh. During this time he made 
some negotiation toward purchasing a farm at $35 per acre, which is now the 
heart of Allegheny City, Pa. Later on, he went to Gustavus, Trumbull Co., O., 
where was then a wilderness, purchased a hundred acre tract of land, and carved 
out his farm from dense woods. As soon as a home was provided, he took to 
himself his Mary, daughter of Thomas and Eliza (Boon) Millikin. In 185 1, 
he sold his farm in Gustavus, and purchased one of 160 acres in Rowland Town- 
ship, Trumbull Co., O., a short distance from the now city of Warren. The 
principal motive for this change was that his family might enjoy better educa- 
tional advantages than were possible in the more remote district. By hard work 
and frugal living, he accumulated a good competency for the time, so that when 
old age forced him to relinquish active labor, he left the farm and moved to a 
house he had built in the city of \^'arren, where he hved the balance of his days. 
His wife d. July 18, 1878, aged 68 years; he d. Nov. 14, 1890, aged 85 years.

the connection, in 1848, to county of Lambton, with Port Sarnia for county 
town, going through the lakes. In the year 1856, the cholera broke out in the 
neighborhood, and I^manuel Millikin — with others of the family — d. with 
that terrible malad}-. The following notice pubhshed in the Christian Giiardiittt 
Oct. 3, 1856, speaks for itself: 

Emanuel Milliken. 

Last in the painful record of mortality, we are called on to chronicle the death 
of our dear brother, Emanuel ^SliUikin. He was a native of Ireland, born in 
1811. His parents d. when he was but eighteen months old and left him in the 
care of an elder brother and sister. Erom an infant there was something more 
than the ordinary in his amiable disposition. He was rarely known, even when 
a child, to speak, or do, wrong. He came to Canada in 1822. In early life he 
was made the subject of converting grace, and became a member of the Wes- 
leyan ciuirch when about 15 years of age. His love for his church was strong 
and his connection with it continued till his life's end. For many years he en- 
joyed the blessing of perfect love. He was a man sound in faith, of qn e.xem- 
plary piety, useful in life, and being dead yet speaketh. He came to this circuit 
about nine years ago, and for seven years sustained acceptably the office of an 
e.xhorter. A man more valued among his neighbors I never knew, and from 
among those without he had a good report; and amongst his own brethren, 
official and private, he was held in high esteem. In his death the circuit sus- 
tains a severe loss, but our loss is his eternal gain. He breathed out his soul 
into the hands of his Saviour, Oct. 3, 1856, aged 45 years. For .several days 
before his death he was almost or entirely unconscious, and his only anxiety 
seemed to be concerning his family. He left a wife and nine children. 

His son informs the compiler of this book that his father, when the settle- 
ment was new and he was a local preacher, often walked many miles where a 
horse could not travel, to carry the gospel to the isolated neighborhoods. He 
also taught, — until regular schools w'ere estabhshed, — a night school for the 
young. 

Mrs. Millikin is still living with her son Isaac at Lucasville, Ont.

Robert John Milliken, said to have been an uncle of James MiUiken Esq., 
first of the Milliken b;irony, Renfrewshire, Scotland, was a native of Ayrshire 
and a scion of an old and respectable family of agricultural pursuits, who early 
established themselves on the southern border of Caledonia. In consequence 
of rehgious persecution he, with others of the name, when a young man removed 
to the north of Ireland and sat down not distant from Dromore, in the County 
of Down, where he married Agnes MacFarland, descended from an old titled 
Scottish clan through a junior branch settled in Ireland during the early years 
of the Plantation of Ulster. There are some reasons for beUeving that this 
Robert Milliken was twice married and that sons and daughters were born to him 
before the advent of James and Hugh through whose letters the name of their 
father was found by kindred in America. The fragmentary and disconnected 
parish records extant, now deposited in Dublin, are not sufficiently complete 
to estabUsh full genealogical associations; besides, the frequent occurrence of 
the same Christian names, of contemporary dates, renders the identification of 
individuals exceedingly difficult; this holds good also with census return records 
kept in Belfast. 

The crest of this family differs shghtly from that of James Milliken Esq., 
of Renfrewshire, recorded at the Lyon Office in Edinburgh, and is described 
as follows: "A demi-hon royally crowned gules, holding in his dexter paw a 
sword, ppr.," with the ancient MiUiken motto, "Regard Bien."

CHILDREN OF ROBERT JOHN' MILLIKEN AND AGNES MacFARLAND. 

1. James Milliken" (1). son of Robert (1), b. near Dromore, Ireland, m. Eliza- 
beth Davis, and was brought to America with his family in 1772, by his son 
Samuel, and was settled on the Conewago, near Harrisburg, Lancaster Co., 
Pa. He d. soon after his emigration, and was buried at Lancaster, Pa. He 
had issue one son and four daughters, of whom with 3d generation. 

2. Hugh Milliken^ (1), second son of Robert^ (1), was a farmer near Dromore, 
Countv Down, Ireland, and' did not come to America. He was the ancestor 
of a numerous race of Millikens and ISIiUigans, some of whom remained in their 
fatherland, while others followed their kindred to Pennsylvania and Ohio; and 
their posterity, a prosperous, intelligent, and respectable people, are scattered 
into nearly every state in the Union.* 

* There is an old paper in possession of Emily J. Dewees, Hollidaysburg, Pa., written 
by Rev. Samuel John Milliken, in which he has stated of Samuel MilUken, his father: "He 
returned to Ireland and brought in four men who had to work for him four or five years; 
one was Pat Hughes. The last time my father came from Ireland, a David Milliken 
came over with him. They were cousins. I think he was Hugh Milliken's son. He 
married Mary Beatx in 1787. They went to Ohio in 1802. Had a large family. Some 
of Hugh Milliken's family came to this country' afterwards, but I do not know where they 
settled." 

As James Milliken had but one brother, this David must have been his (Hugh's) son. 
See "Millikens of Cumberland Co., Pa." 



332 MILLIKEiVS OF KISHACOQUILLAS VALLEY, PA. 

CHILDREN OF JAMES AND ELIZABETH DAVIS. 

I. Samuel Milliken^ (1), son of James^ (1), b. in Dromore, Ireland, 1746, be- 
came the recognized head of one branch of the MilUken family settled in Penn- 
sylvania. He m. in 1775 Miss Margaret Foster, who was b. in Lancaster 
Co., Pa., in 1753. As proven by his certificate of church membership, he pre- 
ceded his father and came to America in 1768. (In this document his sur- 
name was spelled "Milligan," an error of the parish clerk.) * He was a linen 
manufacturer and merchant, and located on the Schuylkill River, near Phila- 
delphia. He made no less than five voyages to America, and on one of his 
return trips brought his father to his then residence on the Conewago. Soon 
after the death of his father he joined emigrants, who had been friends and ac- 
quaintances in Ireland, and located a colony in the beautiful and richly fertile 
valley known as Kishacoquillas, in Mifflin Co., Pa., not distant from the Ju- 
niata River, which territory was then comprised in Cumberland Co., Pa. He 
made location of a large tract of land, parts of which are still owned by his de- 
scendants. Here Samuel MilHken became a farmer. This settlement deter- 
mined the reUgious character of the inhabitants of the whole valley for many 
years as staunch Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. 

The district was then an Indian frontier, and many harvests were gathered 
by this sterling yeomanry with their rifles on their backs. One of the conspic- 
uous peaks of the mountain range, which encloses the valley on the north, per- 
petuates the name by its designation of "Milliken's Knob" and "MilUken's 
High Top." In the same range, but beyond the limits of the present county, 
there is further recognition of the family name in "Milligen's Cove." 

A letter read at a recent centennial celebration of the First Presbyterian Church 
of Kishacoquillas Valley, written by Samuel Milliken's wife, was addressed to 
him in Washington's army at Valley Forge. He had, with certain neighbors, 
when learning of the suffering and distress of the army, collected voluntary 
contributions of food and clothing, and with their teams dehvered the same to 
the soldiers then stationed at Valley Forge, a distance of 150 miles. He d. 
Oct. 28, 1804. t There were six sons and three daughters, of whom with 4th 
generation. 

2. Jane Milliken^ (1), eldest daughter of James^ (1), b. near Dromore, Ireland; 
came to America in 1772 with her father's family, and became the wife of Robert 
Patterson of Scotch-Irish stock; said to have been married in Ireland. 

3. Nancy Milliken^ (1), second daughter of James- (1), Ig. near Dromore, Ire- 
land, was m. to Robert Garner in Pennsylvania. When, in 1774, Robert and 
John Campbell removed their families from near Wilmington, Del., to Mifflin 

* "This is to certify that Samuel Milligan is a prodistant, born & bred in the Parish 
of Dramore, County Down, and his behaviour has always been, in every respect, regular 
and such as to recomcnd him to the esteem and friendship of all his acquaintances & may 
be received into any Congregation of his Society, wherever Providence may cast his lot.

bore the name of Robert Garnkk. This journey o{ 170 miles was made with 
white-covered, heavy-buih wa.ij;ons, one for each family, and in the train were 
some cows, colts and swine. When the Campbells had established themselves 
in the Kishacoquillas \"alley this Robert Garner made his home with them 
till he m. Miss Nancy Milliken, an event supposed to have been solemnized 
in 1776 or 1777. Having spent twenty-four years in Mifflin Co., Pa., this family 
removed to Centre County and located on a large tract of land near the head 
of Si)ruce Creek, in Ferguson Township, where, we supjiose, they passed the 
remainder of their days. He and all members of his family are said to have 
been Presbyterians. For reasons now^ unknown, the surname was changed 
from Garner to Gardner. Children named as follows:

* Under the firm name of "J. & J. Milliken," the two brothers were for years the lead- 
ing merchants of Lewiston, Pa. They controlled the grain trade in MifHin and other ad- 
joining counties, shipping large quantities to Philadelphia and Baltimore. Before the con- 
struction of the canal, the grain was shipped in arks on the river; afterwards, in canal boats. 
These merchants were men of influence and wealth; they owned several farms. They were 
induced to engage in the iron business and by misplaced confidence lost heavily. James 
Milliken, being advanced in life, retired from business. Joseph, full of energy, became a 
contractor for building railroads; also sold large tracts of land for an eastern firm in Illinois.

pastor. As a husband and father he was kind and prudent in ordering the 
affairs of his household, studying the spiritual welfare of his family, and had 
the joy of seeing every member a communicant of the Presbyterian Church.

CHILDREN OF ROBERT AND SARAH B. JOHNSTON. 

James Johnson Milliken^ (3), youngest son of Robert* (3), was b. in Kishaco- 
quillas \'alle\-. Pa. — he says "a native of Lewiston, Pa." — Jan. 25, 1839; m. 
Jan. I, 1872, Miss Mary A. Forster, b. Apr. 28, 1852, being one of ten chil- 
dren of Mr. Albert and Antonia Forster of Santa Cruz Co., Cal., natives of 
Hammelburg, Germany, and the second white child born in Santa Cruz County. 
He went West in 1861, proceeding via the Isthmus of Panama, thence to 
San Francisco and to Nevada Co., Cal. His first experience in mining was in 
1863. He went to Virginia City, Nevada, and during the next five years devoted 
his attention to the cattle business, also doing some prospecting and mining. 
In 1864 he located the Carrico Mine near Austen, Nevada. From 1866 to 
1878 he was engaged in agriculture in Santa Cruz Co., Cal., and was fairly 
successful. In 1878 he went to Yavapai Co., Arizona. He located the famous 
"Walnut Springs," which now svipply water for the smelting works at Jerome. 
In 1879 he went to Lynx Creek and that year located the " Ora Platta Mine," 
now owned by the Montgomery Mining Company. In 1880 he located the 
" Kishacoquillas Mine," which he sold to New York capitalists, and also dis- 
covered and laid claim to the fine Mifflin group, which includes four mines — 
"Solano," "Water Gulch," "Burrow," and "Mifflin" — which he stiU owns. 
In 1894 he located and has since developed the "Homestead Mine," where he 
and children now reside. In addition to these he owned the " Golden Fleece 
Mines" No. 2 and No. 3, extensions of the famous "Mud Hole Mine" that he 
sold to the Pennsylvania Gold Mining Co., in 1898. He says: "With all the ups 
and downs I am now comfortably situated with my family around me." His 
address is Walker, Yavapai Co., Arizona. Issue as follows:

Abraham \'alentine, lived in his family, and had a position in his store. He was 
the first freight agent of the Pennsylvania R. R. Company at HolHdaysburg, 
but gave up his position because he could not conscientiously work on the Sab- 
bath. For some time he was in the grain business in Philadelphia, and after- 
wards in some transactions in Elmira, N. Y., but the greater part of his busi- 
ness hfe was spent in New York City as agent for the Phoenix Company, and 
others, handling iron rails and beams. He retired from active business many 
years before his death, but had the pleasure of seeing his sons developing his

business successfully. There were two suns and one daughter, of whom with 
6th generation. 

2. Moses Thompson MlUiken'' (3), second son of Foster' (1), I). Feb. 22, 1822; 
m. Sept 6. uSji. Caroline V.alentine of Bellefonte, Centre Co., Pa., and 
was always a resident of that town. He was an iron-master, being a member 
of the firm of "\'alcntine's Furnase & Forges." His death occurred in 0>ka- 
loosa. la., in the fall of 1S71. One daughter. See 6th generation. 

3. Hon. James Milliken^ (4), third son of Foster'' (1), b. July 23, 1824, of whom 
we nu'.ke extract from the history of Centre County, Pennsylvania, to wit: Be- 
fore ^Ir. Millikcn was of age he was entrusted by ]\'Ies.srs. Valentine with the 
agency for the sale of their iron in the state of New York, and was located for 
that purpose at Elmira, N. Y., for several years. When this agency closed, 
his uncles, who were leading commercial men of MifBin County, persuaded 
him to join them in business at Lewiston, Pa. Not satisfied with the limited 
sphere of business at Lewiston, Mr. Milliken removed to Philadelphia in 1851, 
and engaged in the flour and grain commission business, in the firm of Richard- 
son & Alilliken; but after a few years he engaged in a business more suited to 
his tastes, the manufacture of iron. He was associated for a number of years 
with the tirm of Reeves, Buck & Co., which became, and is at present, the 
Phoenix Iron Company, of Philadelphia and Phcenixville, Chester Co., Pa. 

While he resided in Philadelpliia Mr. Milliken took an active part in puV)lic 
affairs, and by liis perseverance, intelligence, and high character took a promi- 
nent position among the leading men of that city. At the outbreak of the war 
of 1861 he was especially prominent. He was a member of the Board of Trade, 
director of several railroad companies, and was one of the originators of the 
great Union League that did so much in behalf of the country in suppressing 
the Rebellion. He was made a member of the committee, of which the mayor 
was chairman, which distributed a bounty of several millions to the volunteers. 
On the occasion of the great city meeting to take action upon the firing upon 
Fort Sumter, when masses of excited men surged through the streets, Mr. Alil- 
liken mounted a temporary platform in front of the old National Hall and made 
a remarkably able speech, commencing: "Fellow-citizens, — With this calam- 
ity upon us we have ceased to be Republicans, we have ceased to be Democrats; 
we have ceased knowing party lines or recognizing party ties, for in this trying 
hour, as patriots and citizens, we should rise above them all, and stand firm 
for our country and for a government for ourselves." In this vein he dwelt at 
length upon the issues forced upon us by the Rebellion, and when he closed a 
mass of men that blocked INIarket Street as far as the eye could reach made re- 
sponse to his patriotism in cheers that resounded far and wide upon the mid- 
night air through the city. 

Mr. Milliken's excessive labor in business and in pubhc affairs told upon his 
health, and by the time the war closed he had to retire altogether. He then 
devoted several years to study and travel, extending his excursions several times 
over most of the countries of Europe, spent two winters in the tropics, one in 
Spain and Italy, and one in Egypt. He crossed the great Arabian desert, scaled 
Mount Sinai, and visited the ancient city of Petra. He subsequently travelled 
through the Holy Land, Greece, and Turkey, and afterwards passed a winter 
in Mexico. 

The straitened circumstances of the family deprived Mr. Milhken of even a 
common-school education and, of course, classical training. Nevertheless, he 



340 MILLIKENS OF KISHACOQUILLAS VALLEY, PA. 

acquired several foreign languages. His remarkable fluency of style and force of 
diction were on that account surprising, and indicated him to be a man of genius 
and brain power. His address in the State Convention, May lo, 1882, in nom- 
inating Gen. James A. Beaver as the Republican candidate for governor, has 
been described by the public press of the day as "a model, and one of the most 
eloquent ever delivered in a poHtical body of that character." Mr. Milliken 
was the author of several brochures, to be found in the pubHc Ubraries of New 
York and Philadelphia, notably, "A Tour of Travel in Lower Egypt and the 
Desert of Sinai," "A Voyager's Letters from Mexico," etc., etc. 

His characteristic as a business man was never to enter upon any work his 
head and heart did not approve, consequently he never relinquished anything 
he set out to do. An example of this was his resuscitation of a prominent rail- 
way and coal company of Philadelphia, whose fortunes seemed to be aban- 
doned by nearly all deeply interested in it. Resisted even by many whose 
interests he was serving, he fought its officers in court and out of court, and 
made the corporation one entitled to the confidence of the people. At the close 
of the controversy the stockholders presented Mr. Milliken, as a testimonial, 
stock of the company, and a service of silver of value altogether of ten thou- 
sand dollars. He decUned the stock, but accepted the silver service as a souvenir 
of their regard. 

He had been one of the successful men of our times, standing in the first 
rank in every relation of life, and. in his life and character exemplifying the 
fullest illustration of the advice of the celebrated bishop of England, who, on 
being asked l^y a noble lord what he should give his son to enable him to get 
on in the world, replied: "Give him poverty and parts." Died Feb. 4, 1902. 

4. Marion L. Milliken' (1), only daughter of Foster^ (1), b. in Mifflin Co., Pa., 
about seventy-three years ago, and d. at Bellefonte, Pa., Feb. 18, 1902, just 
two weeks after her brother James (who d. Feb. 4, 1902, in New York) of some 
disease of the brain. She was for many years actively identified with various 
reUgious and charitable organizations in Bellefonte. A consistent member of 
the Presbyterian Church, her life was largely devoted to church work. For 
several winters Miss Milhken made her home with Mrs. Samuel Milliken in 
Plainfield, N. J., returning to Bellefonte for the summer. She was the last 
member of the Milliken family once prominent in social and business circles 
of Bellefonte, Pa. The house in which she d. was once the home of her brother, 
Moses T. ]Milliken, and latterly the home of her mother, brother James, and 
herself. She was buried in Union Cemetery.

iHiUiknts of (Cumbcrlauii (tinmlit. Pa. 

This family is descended from Robert-John Milliken' of Dromore, County 
Down, Ireland, and is closely related to the branch under the designation, 
'■ Millikens of Kishacoquillas Valley," and " ^Millikens of Washington County, 
Pa." 

David Milliken^ (1), son of Hugh Alilliken,- who was a son of Robert-John 
Milliken of Dromore, Ireland, where he was b. in 1749, and was in his eighteenth 
year when in 1766 he came with his mother, brothers and sisters and settled 
in Cumberland Co, Pa. They were assessed in that portion known as the 
Kishacoquillas \'alley, Mifflin County, as the public records do prove. Mr. 
Milliken enlisted and served, probably in the Pa. militia, in the war of the 
Revolution, although no record has been found to verify this statement save 
such as was handed down in his family. He often related the privations and 
sufferings of the soldiers during the war and of his own capture by the British. 
He was not a prisoner long, however, before he managed to make his escape 
with one of his comrades. They did not enjoy their freedom more than a few 
days. Having gone some distance from their captors undiscovered, they con- 
gratulated themselves on their good fortune when, by a sudden turn in their 
course, they were brought face to face with some officers of the enemy's 
army. The ready native wit of the Irishman served them in this emer- 
gency, and their explanation concerning their identity being satisfactory, they 



348 MILLIKENS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PA. 

were allowed to continue on their journey. This meeting furnished a clue to 
the enemy, and mounted officers soon covered the route that had taken the 
refugees two days to travel. They were overtaken, recaptured, and each received 
thirty-nine lashes on his bare back, well laid on, the honored scars of which 
they carried down to their graves. 

In 1782 Mr. Milliken received an honorable discharge from the army and 
returned to his home in the Kishacoquillas Valley, where he soon afterwards, 
probably in 1783-4, m. Mary Beatty. This couple resided thereuntil 1793, 
when homesteads in Ohio were offered on such liberal terms by the Government 
that he was induced to remove to that land of promise. He was granted land 
in Harrison County, near the present town of Cadiz, where their two last children 
were born. He d. Dec. 10, 1833, aged 77 years, and was interred in Cadiz, 
where his will was recorded. His widow d. in Union Co., O., in the fall of 
1843, agt;d 85 years. For children see the 2d generation.

1794, he, with his brother David Milliken, received 300 acres of land in 
Armagh Township, Mifflin Co., Pa., called " Bellmont," and by deed of same 
date this Thomas released all his right in said land to the said David his brother.

by her former husband. He made his will Jan. 7, 1832, in which he mentions 
children named Margaret, Isabella, Robert, Jane, Sarah, and Jolm deceased,

Samuel Milligan, born in the north of Ireland in the year 1717, was married 
there and had a family of children who are supposed to have come to Penn- 
sylvania with him, and to have settled somewhere in States farther west. His 
second wife was Sarah Jardine, descended from the Scottish border family of 
that name. Samuel came to Pennsylvania about 1770, when his eldest son by 
his second wife, John by name, was but six or eight years of age, and finally 



MILLIGANS OF SlVISSl'ALE, P/CKA^V COUNTY, PA. .Sr>5 

settled on lands in Madison Township, Perry Co., the farm now owned and 
occupied by iiis great-grandson. Nestling under the shoulder of the Conno- 
gocheague Mountains stands an old stone mansion huili by Samuel Milligan 
in the latter part of the eighteenth century, and since occupied by his son 
Thomas, and grandson, John Milligan. 

Mr. Milligan was a godly man, a staunch Presbyterian in faith, who trained 
his family to follow in his footsteps as far as he walked in the ways of right- 
eousness ; and so far as we know, his children were moral, industrious and 
useful citizens. They were nearly all communicants of the Presljyterian 
Church. He died Sept. 17, 18 15, aged 88 years. His .second wife died 
Mar. 12, 1823, aged 86 years. They were buried in the cemetery of the 
Centre Presbyterian Church in which they and their children had worshipped, 
and their posterity are verifying the promise, " I will be a God to you and your 
children."'

2. Jane IVlilligan^ (1), second daughter of SamueU (1), was m. to Bell. 

3. Mary ? Milligan^ (1), third daughter of SamueU (1), was m. to

4. John Milligan- (1), eldest son of SamueP (1), b. 1764 ; m. Jane Graham 
Aug. I.I, 1 791, who was b. 1767, and d. in 1850, aged 83 years. He d. in 
1842. He settled on land east of and adjoining his father's homestead. This 
wild land was rough and hard to subdue, but John Milligan was a man of 
energy and unyielding will and resolutely encountered all obstacles that stood 
in his way. He cleared and made productive his farm ; wagoned all the way 
to Baltimore to dicker produce ; bought cattle and drove them to market ; 
moved many families into Ohio, and acquired a competency. He passed 
through many adventures when on his journeys, but never mentioned them at 
home lest his wife should be unduly excited. 

An elderly gentleman related the following at New Bloomfield, Pa., concern- 
ing John Milligan. ^fany years ago at his father's hotel a loud helloing was 
heard late at night, and on going to the door to learn the cause they found an 
old man mounted on a horse frozen to the saddle. After removine; the man 
and saddle they were carried to the hotel and thawed out, and the old man 
seemed but little harmed. When too old to take care of his double team he 
employed a driver but rode along on horseback to safeguard his business. On 
taking a load of farm produce to Carlisle, Pa., in crossing the Canngwumet 
creek his teams broke through the ice, and the night being very cold Mr. 
Milligan was frozen fast to his saddle and could not dismount. 

A man named Swartz related that while living in York Co., Pa., he saw an 
old man mounted on a small horse riding quite fast down the opposite bank, 
and without even halting drove right into the swollen stream. The horse 
floundered and the old man was thrown from the saddle, but by clinging to 
the horse's mane he was carried safely to the objective side of the stream. 
When he reached shore he merely shook himself, mounted his horse and rode 
away. Many years afterward he learned that the intrepid old man was John 
Milligan.

away a dozen miles, but was stricken with paralysis on that evening and died 
a few days later.

* In travelling through the western end of Perry County, Penn., starting at Millerstown 
on the Juniata River, and railroad to Germantown via Ickesburg and Blaii', after going three 
miles and crossing Buffalo Creek, a brick schoolhouse will be seen on the left hand. On the 
right-hand side of the road about one hundred yards beyond, may be seen an old stone man- 
sion built during the latter part of the eighteenth century by Robert Irvine, who came to 
America in 1752, but did not settle in this place till 1774. Here in the gentle, undulating 
valley, skirled on the east by Buffalo Creek, on the north by the Connogocheague, and extend- 
ing one-half mile on either side of the road, are the lands owned by Robert Irvine and his 
sons. One half mile further on the same road from the old stone mansion, is the former 
home of William Irvine, where he built the stone house as it now stands in 1832. Here 
William and his wife Sarah Milligan lived and their large family of children grew to man- 
hood and womanhood. The place is now owned by Sarah 'A. Irvine and her nephew,

HON. JOSEPH MILLIGAN. CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA 



MILLIGANS OF SWISS VALE, PERRY COIX IW /'./. .'GO 



g. Hon. Joseph Milligan^ (2). iifth son of David- (1), b. in Suissvale, Perry 
Co., I'cnn., Mar. 3, 1S14; was in. Apr. 5, 1846. to .\Iiss J.anik W. Hawkins, 
daughter of CoL Ilawkins of Braddock, Pa., but .slic d. Jan. 25, i<SS2. leav- 
ing a daughter, India /., who d. at the age of 24. He was in. 2d, in Sept., 
1853, to ]\Iiss Harriet N. Fullenwider, daughter of Kieazer and Lavina 
(Alien) Fullenwider. who settled near Wavcland, Ind., in 1S34. Hy this union 
there were two children. Joseph remained on the farm until he was nineteen 
years old, and in 1833 he immigrated to Montgomery County, where his elder 
brother, John, had settled in 1830. The latter was the projector of the town of 
Waveland, as he owned the land and laid out the \illage. Joseph soon secured 
a position in a store in Crawfordsville, but remained there only a short time, 
owing to the proprietor wishing him to handle whiskey, and this he refused 
to do, and thus early showed those right principles which have marked his 
career through life. 

With only :?iio in his pocket, but with the happy disposition and faith in 
himself which characterize the Irish blood the world over, Joseph started down 
the Ohio. He had a deck passage to Cincinnati, and from Crawfordsville he 
went as far as the " Narrows" of Sugar Creek, a trading point on the creek, 
and here he spent one year in charge of a store for John Mitchell, who during 
this time went to New Orleans with two fiatboats of pork ; he died of cholera, 
while on the trip, on board of the steamer, and was buried on the banks of the 
river. After closing up these aftairs. Joseph took one term in Wabash College 
and then became a merchant. 

His brother was engaged in mercantile pursuits near where Joseph lived, 
and offered his young brother a partnership. This was accepted, and he went 
into the store at Jacksonville, where he remained about four years and did 
well, as it was the first store there. On his return to Waveland he and a 
brother formed a partnership in a store, and there he continued until about 
1845. During this time he was also buying pork at the ''Narrows," which 
was the head of navigation, and making trips with it to New Orleans. 

In 1845 ^I^- Milligan went into the same business at Waveland, and kept 
on enlarging until 1856, when his business had assumed extensive proportions. 
He then bought goods in New York and Cincinnati, and carried on a large 
trade. At this time he bought a farm in Fountain County and went into part- 
nership with other parties in general merchandising, he supplying the means. 
In i86g he changed his residence to Crawfordsville. 

During the war Mr. ^lilligan bought the Rockport Mills and assisted in 
furnishing supplies to the soldiers, donated through the Sanitary Commission. 
At the organization of the First National Bank he became a Director for two 
years, and prior to 1890 he was its President. He was the first President of 
the Crawfordsville & Southwestern Railroad, now purchased by the \'andalia. 
His influence secured the right of way and perfect organization of the road. 

Mr. Milligan made a trip through Iowa and Kansas and bought thousands 
of acres in those States, which have since been selling with great profit. In 
1839 he rode over the country on horseback, and visited Iowa City and St. 
Joseph, Mo., then !Milligan's Landing, and picked out valuable tracts: he 
has also handled lands in this State. In 1864 he was elected to the State 
Senate on the Republican ticket, and served for two terms. His connection 
with his party was very active, and he was a strong supporter of the war 
movement. 



360 MILLIGANS OF SWISS VALE, FERRY COUNTY, FA. 

Mr. Milligan in early life was a Methodist, but for the last thirty years was 
an Elder in the Presbyterian Church. He was a delegate to the General 
Assemblies at St. Louis and Saratoga. 

When the Rev. Thomas Milligan resigned as Trustee of Wabash College, 
Mr. Joseph Milligan was appointed to succeed him, and he gave the college 
interests much attention. Another important post held by Mr. Milligan was 
that of President of the Orphans' Home, a county institution, and in all of 
the relations of life he has filled the measure. He was a man of whom the 
people of the county were proud, for he reflected the best that is in it. 

lo. Rev. Thomas Stuart Milligan^ (2), sixth son of David^ (1), b. in Swissvale, 
Pa., Nov. I, i8i6 ; was m. Feb. 28, 1846, to Louisa Frances Warren, b. in 
Westport, N. Y., Apr. 29, 1826, and is still living, a bright, handsome old lady. 
Her parents were John Parsons and Fanny (Skinner) Warren, the former 
from Somersetshire, and the latter from Yorkshire, England. The family of 
David Milligan had removed to near Pittsburg, Pa., and the mother, worn 
out with the care of a large family and the hard work incident to the life of a 
pioneer woman, died of consumption when Thomas was but two and a half 
years of age. He grew up on the home farm to the age of fourteen years, a 
timid, sensitive, proud boy. He then came to Waveland, Ind., to help his 
brother John in a country store. When about sixteen years of age, after 
much mental suffering and gloom, he came out into the clear light of Chris- 
tian faith. He always felt that he owed much to the prayers of his mother, 
and to the faithful labors of his pastor. Rev. John Thomson, of Waveland. 
With the question of his soul's salvation settled, he determined to study for 
the ministry, and entered the new school established fourteen miles away, by 
cultivated Christian scholars from New England. This was Wabash College. 
There Thomas was a most faithful student from 1833 to 1839, when he gradu- 
ated in the second class that left the college, a class of four young men, all 
of whom entered the ministry. These six years represent a period of great 
self-denial, as the $400 patrimony could not cover much of the way. But his 
thirst for knowledge was something unusual. He won a reputation for 
scholarship, specially in the languages, of which he never tired. He con- 
tinued his studies in Greek, Latiri and Hebrew till his death. After gradua- 
tion he spent one year in Wabash College as tutor of Latin. He then entered 
Lane Seminary, Cincinnati, for a three years' course in theology, under Dr. 
Lyman Beecher, Dr. Calvin Stowe, etc. When the young minister was ready for 
active service, he was presented with a fine thoroughbred horse, saddle, bridle 
and saddle-bags, the gift of a wealthy Kentucky gentleman to Home Missions. 
Mounted on " Zeno " Thomas Milligan traversed the marshes of northern 
Indiana, preaching in schoolhouses, barns, private houses, and organizing 
churches. For a while he was settled at Rochester, as first pastor of a church 
that he organized. 

In 1846 he removed to Green Castle, where he had been pastor a few 
months. There he spent almost eight years. One year of this time he was 
agent for the American Board, an ofiice that required laborious travel over 
new country in Illinois and Indiana. In the course of his travels he visited 
the county south of Green Castle, — Owen, — a county that had one old Presby- 
terian Church, established in 1820. This was a country church, once strong 
in every sense, but at this time depleted by large colonies that had gone from 
it to Iowa and Texas. The "few sheep in the wilderness " appealed to this

sensitive, self-sacrilicin^ man, and in 1853 he settled in the little lu^ cabin 
parsonage of Bethany, five miles from the liost-olhce and railway staticjn at 
Gosport. He then had a young wife and three little children. In time a 
new and comfortable home was built, land purchased, orchard and vineyard 
set out. For years Thomas Milligan was the only I'resbyterian minister in 
C)wen County, but he was a power, lie travelled tirelessly, carrying bibles, 
tracts, and religious papers in his saddle-bags ; setting up family altars, per- 
suading parents to educate their children — even taking the children home 
with him that he might teach them — preaching the gospel of the kingdom 
wherever men would hear him. Mow he labored and prayed, organized circles 
of Bible study and the study of natural sciences, lectured, taught school, put 
his children through college, wrote for the press, organized churches, kept a 
happy home, carried on favorite studies, communed with nature, entertained 
as a charming host, — this and much more would fill a volume. He was a 
favorite with his alma mater, usually attended her commencement, and con- 
tributed from his fund of ready wit and humor to her festive occasions, his 
toasts being long remembered. In the eulog}' passed upon him at the time 
of his death, by the president of Wabash College, he was called the best all- 
round scholar that had then left the college. His children remember him as 
a man of the highest and noblest ideals, of elevated conversation, of fine 
nature, of deep but repressed affection, of intensest energ)% indomitable will, 
full of uncomplaining self-sacrifice for the home and the cause of Christ. 

So intense was his nature, that he wore himself out too soon, dying a few- 
days before he was sixty, on Oct. 7, 1876. He lived such an elevated religious 
life of consecrated service that Heaven would seem more natural to him than 
earth. He had issue four children, all living, names with 4th generation.

Dromore, County Down, Pri)\ince of L l^lcr, in llic north ol Ireland, was llic 
cradletown of many Millikcns and Millikins w'ho were mostly weavers and 
linen dressers. Some rented small bits of land and cultivated flax in the early 
days of the "lint business," and their fields were blue with the beautiful flowers 
of this staple. These Dromore Millikens were staunch Presbyterians and for 
conscience' sake were ready to suffer any deprivation or hardship, ^[any came 
to America, and their posterity are now widely scattered through the United 
States and the British Provinces. 

James Millikin\ born in 1727, died in Dromore, County Down, Ireland, Apr. 
17, 1789. His wife was Martha Hemphill,* of an ancient Scotch family 
early planted in Ulster. She was born in 1729, and died May 12, 1800. This 
pair spent their days in or near to, Dromore, as shown by letters, still preserved, 
forwarded to their sons in Pennsylvania. They had as many as nine children, 
of whom we have not gained much rehable information. The family tradi- 
tions concerning them do not harmonize. Their names were as foUow-s: James, 
William, John, Mary, David, Martha, Samuel, Nancy and Robert. 

The subjoined letter shows that old James Millikin was a godly and prudent 
man, and many of his descendants have emulated his example. 

"Dromore, June 22. 1786. 
"Dear Son James: — Having the oppertunity of a bearer I think it my duly 
to let you know that we are in a merciful state of health at present, and thanks 
be to God for his mercies to us, hoping these lines will find you the same. We 
received five letters from you in one day, one from your father-in-law, one from 
your wife, and another from your brother \\'illiam, which was a day of joy to 
us to hear from you all at once being alive after so long troublesome times in 
that coiHitry. for during those troubles my whole heart's desire and prayer to 
God was for you that you might through his mercy be saved. Now- I hope you 
have come most partly through your troubles of war, that you will not be neg- 
ligent, but sober and vigilent, never ceasing but praying God who preserved 
you the bypast times from accidents and enimies. Do thou now. I pray to 
God to let no evil befall thee nor plague come near Thyself. Because of Evil- 
doers neither be thou Envious against the workers of Eniquity, for they shall 
be cut down like grass and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord and 
do good, so shalt Thou dwell in the land and verily thou shalt be fed. Be thou 
Stedfast in faith, you know the reward of being faithful unto Death and that 
is a crown of glory or a promise of an heavenly inheritance for the which I hope 
you will walk circumspectly and worthy of the vocation where with yee are called, 
keeping [the] unity of the spirit in the Bond of peace. So this perhaps being

my last oppertunity that I'll get to write to you or any of you, may the Lord 
with his mercies Bless you and cause Brotherly Love to continue amongst you 
and with his Grace Be daily present in your famihes and so be it. You are de- 
sirous to know how I fared through the war.* I answer you it was very Detri- 
mental to us and [in] the most part of this Country it Caused every kind of 
oversea goods to be very 111 to purchase. Especially the tobacco; it was at the 
Rate of 4 pence the pound but it and several other Commodities is got to the old 
Rate again most partly. You desired a Uttle before to send some Clothing to 
}'ou and that very year we had a great affliction and sickness and at the heel 
of that a great loss of cattle and a large Rent going [on] which drove your De- 
mands out of our heads till the war Come on, then all oppertunities lost; more- 
over our Crops didnot well here for three years which raised vituals to a great 
Extent, meal in some places in this country came to 6^. bd. per score but it Did- 
not amount to that in this parish, it was only 55. per score and 45. \o\d., and 
all other things to tedious now to mention, Conformably Dear likewise. Now 
making this oppertunity Serve in writing to your Brother W". as to you as [at 
this] time cannot afford writing Sepperately to himself, you will be careful to 
Remember our love to him and his family. Your sister Mary Remains still 
unmarried and lives always with us. Your brother David and your brother 
Samuel was in the thought of going to that Country this Summer, but they 
have adjourned until the next Spring. Samuel thought he was not learned 
enough to go into that Country, he intends continuing at School this year yet 
for he means making his bread on that Calling. Your uncle James Hemphill 
was very displeased that you didnot write to him seperately in your letters. 
He is now got to be a man of great opulence and wealth, him and his children, 
they have purchased Several States as as we call them farms. He has a farm 
you know of his own in Calmore; well he has now one in Claggon, another [in] 
Lartmally, another in Drumraigkellen'(?) another in Macremore, another in 
Leshnash, and he intends sending one of his Sons to that Country to buy an- 
other of your father-in-law, his children are all unmarried and your aunt Jennet 
Hemphill Died six years ago. So I add no more but remain your Dutiful father 
till death.

CHILDREN OF JAMES AND MARTHA HEMPHILL. 

James Millikin (2), son of James (1), and Martha Hemphill, was b. in 
County Antrim, Ireland, Jan. 5, 1752; m. Mar. 31, 1778, Dolly McFarland,! 

* The American Revolution. , 

t The McFarland Family. This Scottish surname should be spelled MacFarlane, 
and the clan whose title it was were descended from the ancient Earls of Lennox, the dis- 
tinctive badge of which was the cypress. In ancient times the land on the Western shore 
of Loch Lomond was inhabited by "the wild Macfarlane's plaided clan." Their gathering- 
place was at a small lake called in Gaelic "Loch Slani," and this name became their war-cry. 
A branch of this ancient clan that held its original lands in Scotland for a period of six hun- 
dred years, settled in Ireland in the reign of James VII., and the chicftainshij) of the clan was 
claimed by its representative, Macfarlane of Huntstown Mouse, in County of Dublin. 

Of the American McFarlands it is said that tlicir ancestors emigrated from .\rgyle-

(lauiihter of Daniel and Sarah (Barber) McFarland, 1). near Dartmouth, in Bris- 
tol Co., Mass., June 6, 1762, and was, at the time of her m. but sixteen years of 
ai^e. This was the union of a younp, adventurous Protestant Irishman to a 
Massachusetts Yankee which resulted in a prosperous and happy life. Mr. 
Millikin did what was, at the time of his emit^ration, a very unusual thing. 
He separated from his parents, his home, and his friends, and came to the .-Xmer- 
ican Colonies under the ardent impulse of an adventurous spirit to seek a home 
in the wilderne.ss. He was not impelled to this act by the importunities of 
relatives who had ])receded him. His example, however, was followed, later, 
bv his brothers, William and Robert. He settled on Tenmile Creek, AmwcU 
Townshijj, Washington Co., Pa., in 1771, just before the breaking out of the 
Revolution. From a letter written by one who remembered him, we learn that 
he was a small man "about as large as lawyer Thomas Millikin of Hamilton, 
O., weighing not more than 150 pounds; a very quiet, inoffensive Protestant, 
and a weaver by trade." His grandson and namesake used to pass many 
pleasant hours when a lad in the loomshop, fiUing quills for his grandfather's 
shuttles, while the weaver .sang songs and told stories of the ''auld country." 
He always claimed to be of pure Scotch blood and protested against being 
called an Irishman. 

The home of Jinnies Millikin was located on a hill, or moderate elevation, 
not distant from and facing Tenmile Creek, and overlooking the valley through 
which that stream flowed. His house was of hewed logs, two storied, and con- 
tained but two rooms, one over the other. An addition was built by one of the 
sons for his family after his marriage. 

It is related that the mother sometimes placed a large bowl filled with corn 
mush upon the kitchen floor, from which her children, seated around it, satis- 
fied their hunger. When the son Robert had returned home after some years 
of absence, he was so overjoyed at beholding his parents and familiar scenes, 
that he wished to be a child again. He asked his mother to hang the kettle on 
the crane once more and make it full of mush. He then had the great bowl 
filled and placed on the floor, and while the family was gathered around it and 
began to use their spoons, '' Bob would hunch first one and then another as he 
used to do in boyhood days, and shout, ' Get away there ! get away there !'" 

James Millikin died July 30, 182 1. His family consisted of eleven children, 
nine of whom, eight sons and one daughter, attained to manhood and woman- 
hood, and their posterity is now almost as numerous as leaves on a forest tree.

Daniel and Sarah (Barber) McFarland. She was a small, beautiful blonde, was m. before 
she was sixteen and became the mother of fifteen children, all of single birth. She lived

was the grandmother of one hundred and ten grandchildren and at the time of her death 
had more than 400 descendants.

2. William Millikiir (1), second son of James* (1), was b. in County Antrim, 
Ireland, say 1754, and came to the American Colonies with his brother James 
as early as 1771, and settled in Cireene Co., Pa. From the State Land Ollice at 
Harrisburg, Pa., the following was found: ''August 30, 1792, to William Mil- 
likin, 306 acres 105 perches, situate on a small branch of the middle fork of 
Tenmile Creek, in Washington County, called 'Wildcat Den;' in persuance 
of a warrant granted to him February 28, 1785. Names of owners of adjoin- 
ing lands Lazarus Simmons and John Goodens." This, we suppose, was W'il 
Ham Millikin's homestead tract of land. From the letter written by his father 
in 1786, we know he had a family at that time, but after the most diligent search 
and the expenditure of considerable money in correspondence, we liave failed 
to find the names of his wife or children. Some old men in the c<junty have 
heard of "Old Bill Millikin the Irishman," and of some quaint savings handed 
down by tradition. He died May 6, 1800, in middle life. The Mary Millikin 
who made the subjoined will was probably the daughter of William Millikin, 
and the James Millikin, a son. If this be true, there were four other daughters, 
three of whose names are not known.

may have some connection with this man.

9. Robert Millikin' (1), sixth son of James' (1), b. in Dromore, County Down, 
Ireland, in 1773; emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1796, and took up a tract of 
land consisting of about 800 acres, situated six miles northwest of Waynesburg, 
on Brown's Fork of South Tenmile Creek, when nearly all of that part of Green 
County was covered with a dense wilderness. At the age of twenty-four he 
married Mary Gray, a daughter of Findley Gray of Greene County, and at 
their wedding feast the principal attraction was a young fat bear which was 
killed in the neighborhood. Mr. Millikin was a farmer and a substantial citi- 
zen among the early settlers of the county. He held the ofl&ce of county com- 
missioner, and was the master-builder of the first brick court house in Greene 
County. He was a man of medium height, quite stout, compact, and of fair 
complexion. Always spoke with the broad dialect of the Scotch-Irish people. 
The loghouse bviilt by him remains on the farm, but a more modern residence 
has been built and occupied by the Milhkin family. The genealogy of Robert 
^Millikin's posterity will be found immediately following the sixth generation of 
the descendants of his brother James, designated, "The Posteritv of Robert 
:Millikin." 

The following obituary notice was taken from the Waynesburg Messenger, 
and speaks for itself: 

DIED. 

At his residence in Morris Township, on Sunday, Apr. 30, 1865, Robert 
MiUikin, Esq., in the 92d year of his age. 

The deceased was one of our oldest and most respectable citizens, and was 
identified with the organization and early history of Greene County, having 
been the contractor and master-builder of the first court house erected in the 
County. He was a man of noble impulses and benevolence and took an active 
part in all matters of public interest. His fellow-citizens elected him to the 
office of County Commissioner, and subsequently for many years he served his 
township as a faithful and just magistrate. ^Ir. ^Millikin was a native of Ire- 
land, but emigrated from the country of his birth to this country prior to the 
year 1800, and during the great reUgious revival of that memorable year or soon 
after, he became attached to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and has 
been a consistent and worthy member of that denomination ever since. He 
loved to converse upon the subjects and thrilling events connected with the his- 
tory of the country, and referred with pleasure to his acquaintance and asso- 
ciations with Morgan, Bryon and Bird, the distinguished founders of the church 
of his choice in this section of country, and he lived and died in the faith of the 
Gospel. He was a regular subscriber to the Waynesburg Messenger from the 
date of its publication in 1813, up to the present period, and it is proper that 
we should in our editorial capacity, express feelings of sympathy with the friends 
of the deceased in this sad bereavement, not that we have lost a subscriber, but 
a man of unswerving fidelity to the principles of the Constitution, and of such 
exemplary honesty as entitled him to the respect and confidence of all who 
knew him.

CHTLDREN OF JAMES AND DOLLT McFARLAND. 

I. Dr. Daniel Millikin^ (1), eldest son of James- (2), b. on Tenmile Creek, 
Washington Co., Pa., Feb. 4, 1779; m. Joan ^Iiner, daughter of Col. John and 
Cassanda (WiUiams) Miner, of the same county Dec. 31, 1801; d. at Hamilton, 
O., Nov. 3, 1849. In 1804 he visited the Miami Valley in Ohio, and in 1S07 
he with his two brothers, John H. and Samuel, set out for the \\'est, reaching 
Hamilton, O., May 7, 1807, just a month after leaving home. When eighteen 
years of age his parents sent him to Jefferson College at Cannsburg, Washington 
Co., Pa., where he remainerl over a year, devoting some time to languages pre- 
paratory to the study of medicine; he then began a course under Dr. James 
Bell, of Greenboro, Pa. He commenced practice at his early home, but find- 
ing little to do he removed by way of the Monongahela to Cincinnati by flat- 
boat. At that time the lot of a country physician was hard. He was the earli- 
est permanent practitioner in Hamilton, but his practice extended to all parts 
of Miami County and the neighboring counties, and he was often absent from 
home for several davs. Everv summer and autumn malaria was virulent and

physicians were in such demand that their hours at home did not average more 
than five in twenty-four. 

By his vigorous constitution, cheerful, placid temperament, and that rare 
way of taking things as they came, Dr. Millikin was well fitted to endure the 
hardships incident to the life of a pioneer physician. As he lived until 1849, 
tliere are many who remember him, and quaint traditions are held about " Old 
Doctor Dan," as he was called, in contra-distinction to " Doctor Dan," his grand- 
son. He was a large, raw-boned man of about 200 pounds' weight. Being 
fond of good stories, he would sometimes tarry at the home of a socially inclined 
patient for half a day. He was a surgeon in the regiment of Col. Mills during 
the war of 181 2, and for a time acting quartermaster. He served as trustee of 
Miami University for many years; also was in the House of Representatives 
in 1816. He was major-general of the Tliird Division of State MiUtia, and 
served as associate-judge (or "wooden-head") of the court of Common Pleas 
for three terms. He m. for his 2d wife, Ellen Curry, who survived him and 

was m. to Morrison. He d. at Hamilton, O., Nov. 3, 1849. Was the 

father of twelve children, four by second wife, of whom with fourth generation. 

2. Mary Millikin^ (2), eldest daughter of James^ (2), b. on Tenmile Creek, 
Washington Co., Pa., Sept. 14, 1780; was m. to John Bane about 1800. Her 
father gave her a farm. "She Uved a hard Ufe as her husband was a dissipated, 
sliiftless man who made baskets and bottomed chairs." She had ten children, 
and d. Oct. 14, 1826. 

3. Col. James Millikin^ (3), second son of James^ (2), b. on Tenmile Creek, 
Washington Co., Pa., July 24, 1782; m. Jan. 20, 1801, Elizabeth Cook, dc^ugh- 
ter of Stephen and Sarah (McFarland) Cook,* who was b. at Mount Holly, N. J., 
Mar. 4, 1774. Immediately after his marriage Mr. Millikin settled on a '"arm 
near his birthplace and remained there engaged in agriculture and surveying 
for about thirty years. In 1825, in company with two neighbors, he made a 
horseback journey to view lands in now Madison Co., O., and there purchased 
1,200 acres upon which some improvements had been made. About five acres 
were vmder cultivation and two squatters' cabins were standing thereon. In 
the fall of 1826 he started with wagons loaded with farm implements for his 
new home in Ohio. His two sons, Samuel and Daniel, accompanied him with 
the intention of settlement, but the country was so wild and desolate they were 
discontented and returned home with their father. Meantime, a man was 
hired to fence 200 acres for a pasture and one hundred head of cattle were herded 
thereon. In the fall these were driven to Lancaster, Pa., and sold at a and- 
some profit. Having become attached to Ohio, Mr. Millikin sold his farm in 
Pennsylvania in 1829, reserving his house and some land until he could make 
a comfortable home for his family on his new purchase. In the spring of 1830

Blythc, County of York, England, in 1573. This man went with the Puritans to Holland, 
and, in 1608, m. Hester, a French Walloon. In 1609 he came over in the " Mayflower " with his 
eldest son, John, leaving Hester and his other children in Leyden, Holland, till 1623, when 
they came over in the ship "Ann." Francis Cook's father was an attorney at Westmin-

for many generations. Stephen Cook's children by Sarah McFarland were, (i) John, (2)

MJLLJK'IXS OF WASIIJNGTOX COUXTY, PA. 2tll 

he loaded three wajjons with household poods and farming tools, and with a 
])art of liis family started aj^ain for the land of promise. They reached their 
destination in April, immediately dismantled the old cabins and built a house 
of hewed tim])er c(Mitainiiig three compartments, some fifty by eij^hteen feet on 
the ground. This dwelliiig had a good roof and matched floors and was con- 
sidered a fine hou.se in those pioneer days. It was located on the so-called 
''Middle Pike" which e.xtends from Plain City to West Jefferson, where the 
residence of William Wilson now stands. 

He returned to Pennsylvania in August, sold his personal ])roperty at public 
auction, and went back to Ohio for good. His son James, then a lad of four- 
teen, started with two hundred head of sheep and flrove them all the way to 
Darby Plains. He was accompanied by his brother John as far as Wheeling, 
\'a., two days' travel, to assist at the ferry over the Ohio River. The remainder 
of the family started one day later, Septem])er gth, and passed James with his 
flock on the fourth day out. The journey was quite uneventful and all reached 
their new home in safety and good health. 

There were then stables and corncribs to build. O.xen were bought for 
breaking the tough prairie upon which much rosewillow grew. He planted 
thirty acres of corn and raised a small crop of grain that year. 

He continued to enlarge his territorial boundaries by purchasing land at from 
75 cents to $1-75 per acre until he owned 2,200 acres. 

James Millikin sur\eyed and laid out the towns of Jefferson and Amity, 
giving the latter its name from the village in his native state. 

He served in many township offices and was an officer in the state militia. 
Was one of the most extensive and prosperous farmers in the county. Turned 
his attention mostly to raising and dealing in cattle. 

Col. ^MilUkin was a man of strong character. He was somewhat slow in 
reaching conclusions, always carefully considering evidence, and seldom aban- 
doned a position once taken. He was scrupulously honest in all his business 
transactions, and was possessed of sterling integrity. He was well informed 
and kept pace with improvements. His frame was large and well-proportioned, 
his stature above the medium and his physical strength great. 

His wife d. Feb. 26, 1853, '^'^^ he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. 
Henry Alder, in Canaan Township, where he passed away Sept. 30, 1868, aged 
80 }ears. He was interred by the side of his wife in the Foster Chapel church- 
yard, four miles north of West Jefiferson, O. 

He was a Presbyterian in religious faith and ])olitically a Democrat. 

His \vife was tall and slender and of blond comple.xion. She was a charm- 
ing treble vocalist. To this couple were born nine children named as fol- 
lows: Samuel, Martha, Daniel, John, Jacob, Elizabeth, Anna, James, and An- 
drew, of whom more with 4th generation. 

Note. — The long, well-finished, flintlock rifle owned by Col. James Millikin is now 
owned by his grandson and namesake. The barrel measures 46 inches and bears the date 
" 1803." His cane, made from a blackhaw bush cut from the old home farm in Canaan 
Township, Pa., by his brother, Robert Millikin of Hamilton, O., is also owned by his grand- 
son. The head of this was made from the horn of a deer killed on the same old homestead, 
is highly polished and bears his initial letters wrought in silver. This grandson has another 
heirloom of priceless value. It is the cane once owned by James Millikin, the "weaver" 
and emigrant ancestor of this family; this is a slender rattan with silver head bearing his 
initial letters.

378 MILLIKINS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, PA. 

was b. in Washington Co., O.. Mar. 3, 1785; m. Mar., 1807, Hannah Cook, 
daughter of Noah and Sarah (Baldwin) Cook, who was b. in the same county 
Aug. 4, 17S7, and d. at Lexington, O., Nov. 4, 1864. 

Though in after years following the occupation of farmer, in his youth John 
H., Uke several of his brothers, devoted himself to the study of medicine to the 
extent that, in after Hfe, he became the local adviser in medicine and surger}-, 
thus filhng an important place in cases of emergency during those pioneer days 
when doctors were few and far between. 

Early in the last century the new Northwest Territory offered boundless 
prospects to emigrants, hence Dr. Daniel Millikin, in 1804, visited that coun- 
try, mainly southwestern Ohio. As a result, he and his brothers, Samuel and 
John H., decided to hazard their fortunes in the comparatively unknown sister 
state. On Apr. 7, 1807, they began the long journey westward, Dr. Daniel 
and family going by water to Cincinnati, while John H., and his bride of less 
than ore month, with some stock and household effects, travelled overland, 
accompanied by Samuel as far as Zanesville, where they separated, Samuel con- 
tinuing the journey to Cincinnati on horseback, while the others turned northward 
toward Frederickton. When they reached this village, then only partially 
laid out, several houses were in course of construction though none occupied. 
Another family was about to move into town, but the day being Friday., feared to 
venture. Our young couple, untroubled Ijy superstitious fears, promptly took 
possession of an available house, and thus became the first residents of this now 
quaint old town. They Uved here for some time while the husband looked 
further and finally purchased a tract of land near the village. Here they re- 
sided until about the close of the year 1810, when the young wife's health failed, 
and with two small children the wearisome journey back to the old home state 
was taken, that the last days of the wife and mother might be passed among 
friends. The children having contracted whooping-cough on the way and re- 
quiring much care, the elder, Jacob, returned with his father to the old MiUikin 
homestead, while the \\ife and babe, for a time, took up their abode aga n in her 
father's house. 

Happily the change proved beneficial and the wife's health continued to 
improve. The husband then enhsted and served in the War of 181 2, and six 
years had passed (1816) when the httle family — two sons had been born in 
the interval — again bravely turned their faces westward, this time settling 
on the farm between Lexington and Ontario, where he Uved the remainder of 
his active hfe, amassing considerable property. A man of good education for 
his time, of shrewd judgment and upright character, he was a leader of thought 
and action in his community, and his counsel and advice were sought by many. 
He was of striking personal appearance, being six feet four inches in stature, 
gaunt, rugged and commanding. 

His wife was a woman of marked character, eccentric in some particulars, 
but possessed of great strength of will and intelligence. In culture and independ- 
ence of thought she was far in advance of her time. Very benevolent in dis- 
position, her charity was freely bestowed upon any in need. Money, food and 
clothing blessed some of her less fortunate neighbors, and her rich store of 
knowledge and experience was often drawn upon for the help of others. Many 
a young wife gained much knowledge of home-making and household economy 
from this strong, self-reliant neighl)or. Together this pioneer couple of such 
marked characteristics could not fail to be leaders in the community where they 



MJLLIKJXS OF IVASllIXGTON COi'XTY, PA. '61\) 

lived. The old homestead remains to-dav, i>ractically unchanged. The house, 
a substantial frame building, erected in iS2q, was somewhat altered in the 
summer of iSq,:;. In this house, standing now seventy-four years, an<l always 
occupied, no death has occurred and but one birth. There were six children, of 
whom with 4th generation. 

5. Samuel MillikinM2), fourth son of James- (2), was b. on Tenmile Creek, 
Washington Co., Pa., Feb. 28, 1787; m. Sept. 28, iSi,:;, Mary Huntkr, daughter 
of Joseph Hunter of Butler Co., O. After his settlement at Hamilton, U., he 
read medicine with his brother Daniel, but soon concluded that his tastes were 
not on that line. The knowledge he had accjuired was made available, how- 
ever, for he soon opened a drug-store, the lirst in town, where he continuerl the 
business until about the time of his marriage. He then became a partner with 
Joseph Hough, who was one of Hamilton's most prominent merchants, and 
subsequently engaged in trade at Middletown. In 1821 he was elected sheriff

and making void all former wills by me at any time heretofore made: And fiist, 
I direct that my body be decently interred and that my funeral be conducted in 
a manner corresponding with my estate and situation in life: Second, I direct 
that my just debts and funeral expenses be paid, out of my personal estate, if 
the same shall be sufficient, as soon as can be conveniently and judiciously done 
after a just appraisement thereof, by Amos Walton, John Horn Junior and 
Jacob Horn. 

Third. I direct that my land shall be divided into three lots or parcels,

hue, and then the run road to be the other line. The land or ])roceeds thereof 
to be divided as follows viz: My boys William, Abel, John and Joel, are to have 
two thirds more, than my daughters Rachel, Dolly, Joanna, ^Mary and Martha,

for the payment of my debts, such sale to be under the direction of my Execu- 
tors, who have hereby full power to sell & convey the same in as full and large

181 7 was licensed to practice. He was for many years settled at Rossville, 
now the first ward of the city of Hamilton. "Dr. Bob" was a far better busi- 
ness man than his brother Daniel; gave close attention to liis practice and ac- 
quired a good estate for those days. While engaged in his profession he kept 
a drug-store, was post-master at Rossville, embarked in merchandising, and

remained on the old homestead in his native state, and was a successful farmer,

CHILDREN OF DR. DANIEL AND JOAN MINOR. 

1. Stephen Millikin' (1), eldest son of DanieP (1), b. in Washington Co., Pa., 
Jan. 3, 1803, removed to Hamilton. O., in 1807. He m. Apr. 17, 1823, Eleanor 
M. EwixG, who d. Jan. 2, 1832, and he m., 2d, July 4, 1833, Catherine Tuley, 
b. in New Jersey, July 20, 1813, who d. Jan. 21, 1888. He lived in \'ermilion 
Co., Ind., where he d. Oct., 1876. Children's names with 5th generation. 

2. Maj. John M. Millikin'' (3), second son of DanieP (1), b. in Washington 
Co., Pa., Oct. 14, 1804, and came to Hamilton, O., with his father. May 7, 1807. 
He m. Sept. 6, 1831, Mary Hough, only daughter of Joseph and Jane (Hun- 
ter) Hough. After being instructed by Dr. Proudiit of Hamilton, he returned 
to his birthplace in 1824, and entered Washington College. He subsequently 
studied law with Jesse Corwin of Hamilton, and on Sept. 5, 1827, was admitted 
to the bar by the Supreme Court of Ohio. He formed a partnership with a 
lawyer who afterwards became go\ernor of the state. This relation was dis- 
solved in 1844, and Mr. Millikin retired to his farm three miles east of Hamil- 
ton to recruit his health. 

He did not return to legal practice, but became much interested in agricul- 
ture, contributing many able papers to the farm journals. For many years 
his farm was a model one where he kept improved stock. In 1846 he was a 
member of the State Board of Equalization. He became a member of the 
State Board of Agriculture in 1856, and was twice re-elected, being president 
of the Board one year. In i860 he was appointed a trustee of Miami Univer- 
sity, and served in that capacity until his death. In 1873 he was named by 
the Secretary of the Interior as one of the commissioners to make a treaty with 
the Creek Indians for rehnquishing a part of their territory to the Seminoles, 
and for this purpose he visited the Indian Territory. He served as state treas- 
urer in 1876 and 1877. Was renominated in 1878, but defeated by the Demo- 
crats. The remaining years of his useful life he passed on his farm. At the 
time of his death he was the oldest professional man in his county. Those 
who were competent to judge of his talents beUeved he would have been a very 
able lawyer had he continued in practice. One who knew him well has said: 
" He represented the noblest type of the high-toned, dignified gentleman. As 
an orator he had few equals. In 1S52 he stood before the old Court House in 
Hamilton and delivered the address of welcome to Major-General W'infield 
Scott, who paid a visit to the town at that time. This address was one of the 
most eloquent ever listened to in Hamilton, and the personal appearance of the 
orator was superb." 

He was a man of fine presence, being six feet in height, of 250 pounds 
weight, industrious and aggressive in debate; but a partiality for rural life proved 
too strong for him and he hied away to the fields. He d. Apr. 9, 1884. There 
were six children, of whom with 5th generation. 

3. Anna Millikin^ (1), eldest daughter of DanieP (1), b, in Washington Co., 
Pa., Sept. 6, 1806; d. a child.

(Wood) Schenck, of German descent, and resides on a farm south of Hamilton, 
where he is engaged in agriculture and shipping moulding-sand. In early life 
he was a student of medicine, but found it uncongenial with his tastes and 
abandoned it. He says: "My father, Dr. Daniel Milhkin, was anxious for me 
to study medicine, and to gratify his wishes I attended a course of lectures at the 
Ohio Medical College, in Cincinnati. It was while there, one day, when look- 
ing over the students, that I thought how few of them will ever become com- 
petent to take charge of the Ufe of a sick person; and the memory of my father's 
practice of forty-nine years and his running at the beck and call of everyone, 
•depriving himself of nearly all of the comforts of home and without liberty to 
do as he wished, decided the question and I said to myself, 'It matters not whether 
I could or could not become a competent physician, I am determined not to 
associate all my hfe with the misfortunes of the afflicted, so I will throw Physics 
to the dogs, and take up with something more congenial to my nature.' " 

Mr. Millikin then ]nirrhased a drug-store, but the handling of chemicals 
was revolting, and he sold out and went to Augusta, Ga., where he remained 
two years. Returning to Hamilton, he m. and settled upon his farm. While 
plowing one day he turned up something that looked like moulders' sand, and

an expert to whom >aniplcs were submitted found it to be of an excellent qual- 
ity, lie told the man that if there was anythintj within the l^owcls of the earth 
tlial would pay better than what was j)ro(luced on the surface he wanted it. 
He then commenced the excavation of mouldinj^-sand, introducing it into the 
foundries of Ohio, Indiana, and other states, and has found this business so 
successful that he says: "I have accumulated sulTicicnt means to keep the wolf 
from the door and will not have to go to the almshouse in my old age." 

Mr. Millikin has often been urged to accept the poUtical offices and other 
positions of trust, but always promptly dechned the honors, preferring to give 
his attention to his home and family. 

lie was often heard to say that while the institution of slavery had to exist, 
he was glad he liad witnessed it in all its revolting phases. He had seen the 
poor negroes sold upon the ]:)lock and families ignominiously torn asunder 
and separated for life. 

It has been said of Mr. Millikin by those who have long known him, that 
he has more real good and substantial friends than any man in Hamilton. He 
is certainly one of the most congenial of men, and would never antagonize any- 
one disposed to breed disturbance and keep up contention, and he had a wa}' 
of throwing some soothing magnetic influence over them which rendered them 
perfectly tractable. He has found the true idea of existence and has drawn a 
store of real comfort and enjoyment out of hfe. He is possessed of a contented, 
happy, cheerful, and agreeable disposition, and will tell his associates that this 
world is constantly growing better. He has been and still is one of Hamilton's 
best citizens. 

He has recently said, " I am thankful to my Maker for giving me good health 
during the many years of my life, and although I have reached my seventy- 
seventh year I am still able to enjoy myself." 

Mr. Millikin is passing the evening of his days in a beautifully situated 
home, surrounded with all of the material blessings of life in the companionship 
of his interesting and affectionate famih'. There were five children, of whom 
with 5th generation. See portrait and view of residence.

said to have been of German descent. Mr. Millikin was a fanner in Pennsyl- 
vania until iS:;4, wlien he and his family emigrated to Ohio, and settled on a 
farm given him by his father only a short distance from the parental home- 
stead, on the " Middle Pike." By the purchase of additional acres he had as 
fine an agricultural estate as there was in the township. Being dissatisfied in 
Madison Co., O., he sold his lands to his brother Andrew anfl his nephew, 
Robert Boyd, and removed to Kno.x Co., O., near the town of Martinsburgh. 
From this locality he returned to Pennsylvania. His wife d. in July, 1845, ^"^^

sheep which he took to Baltimore and other Eastern cities for sale. He was a 

man of superior intelligence and was called to fill many township ofBces. He 

was also a sincere Christian and strictly honest in every relation of life.

Abijah and Catherine (Johnson) Cary, who was b. at the old Cary homestead 
on the "Middle Pike," near Amity, O., Jan. 6, 1819. She was a tall, slender, 
but gracefully formed brunette, favoring the old Cary stock; a woman of strong 
character and great worth. This young couple commenced housekeeping in a 
log cabin on the "Middle Pike," south of Plain City. A few old trees and 
some shrubbery mark the spot. Here they lived eight years. He then pur- 
chased a farm on Big Darby, in Canaan Township, which became their per- 
manent home. 

Mr. Millikin spent his boyhood days on the early homestead in Washington 
Co., Pa., but removed with his parents to Ohio in 1830. He was then a lad of 
only fourteen years and walked all the way, driving a flock of sheep. His edu- 
cation was limited, his schoolroom being an old log house built for the purpose, 
fitted with long slab-benches for seats, and greased paper for windows. The 
New Testament was his "textbook" and "reader" for so many years that he 
memorized much of its contents and could ever afterwards quote many of its 
passages correctly. Being possessed of a remarkably retentive and concise 
memory, by much reading he became well informed on all general topics and 
could recall and relate with accuracy, even in old age, anything he had once 
known. 

He spent his early manhood in farming and stock-raising, and made many 
journeys to New York and other Eastern markets overland with horses and 
cattle. In 1879 ^^ l^^t his farm and moved to West Jefferson, O., where he 
engaged in the hardware business, but he became dissatisfied and after eight 
years returned to enjoy the quiet and independence of farm life. 

* The Cary Family of which Rachel Millikin — and others intermarried with the Mil- 
likin family — was a descendant, claim for their ancestor John Cary, a descendant of Sir 
Thomas Cary, who was a cousin of Queen Elizabeth. This John Car\' came to Plymouth 
Colony in 1630. The grandparents of Rachel Cary Millikin were natives of New Jersey, 
but her father, Abijah Cary, was b. in Pennsylvania. His wife, Catherine Johnson, was from 
\'irginia. They were of the same family as Alice and Phebe Cary, the well-known writers 
of poetry, of Prof. Cary, the orator and lecturer of Ohio, and of Annie Louisa Cary, of Maine, 
the famous singer. 



MILLIKINS OF WASHING TON COUNTY, PA. 387 

James Millikiii never sought tor an ortke, hut held nearly all in his town- 
ship. He served two terms as county commissioner, being a Democrat. He 
was a man of social, jovial nature and always had a good story adapted to all 
occasions. Being of a gencn)us, obliging disposition he made many warm and 
steadfast friends who were loyal to the end of life. He was sometimes imposed 
upon, and yet no worthy person who asked a favor of him went away flisap- 
l)ointed if it was in his ])ower to grant their request. He held the unwavering 
confidence of all who knew him, and was familiarly called "Uncle Jim" by his 
friends. 

In advanced years, when unable to oversee his farm, he invented a hay- 
stacker which was perfectly practical, and a patent was secured about a month 
before his death. He passed away Sept. 21, 1896, aged eighty years. His 
wife d. Apr. 25, 1900. They were laid to rest in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery, on 
National Road, West Jefferson, O. To them were born eight children (two 
died at birth unnamed), of whom with 5th generation. 

9. Andrew Millikin'' (2), youngest son of James^ (3), b. on Tenmile Creek, 
Washington Co., Pa., Oct. 7, 1820; m. Sept. 2, 1846, S.\rah Ann Armstrong, 
who was b. in Virginia Jan. 11, 1824. His boyhood days are enshrouded in 
some obscurity. He went to Ohio with his parents in 1830; the last tiling he 
did before leaving was to climb his favorite cherry-tree (nothing said about a 
hatchet) to "view the landscape o'er." In his early manhood he engaged in 
livestock dealing and farming and sold from his fields and stalls as many as 
one hundred head of cattle in a year. For several years, from 1S72 to 1880, 
he and his nephew, Cary Millikin, were in Miami, Frankhn, and Osage Counties, 
Kansas, as partners, and owned each year from 150 to 200 head of cattle which 
thev kept on a ranch in summer and fatted for market in winter. During 
these vears Andrew made two annual journeys to Kansas, buying and selling 
stock, while Cary remained to oversee the herds. 

Andrew Millikin met with financial reverses in Ohio, and lost his property. 
The description of his home condensed from a paper written by his daughter 
will be of interest. Their home in Madison Co., O., was a small, unpainted 
frame building with two great stone chimneys at the ends on the outside, each 
with a capacious fireplace opening into the two square rooms below. A small 
kitchen was cut off one end of the porch that fronted the whole length of the 
house. A large tree towered over one corner of the kitchen, and a large grape- 
vine clung persistently to one end of the house, partl\- hiding from view one 
of the chimneys and lending picturesqueness to the rural scene. 

Mr. Millikin was tall, erect and of fair complexion. His hair and beard 
were light, and his eyes a deep blue. His wife was a brunette and of an am- 
bitious temperament; in every way a congenial companion for her husband, 
and they lived in perfect harmony. 

He d. in Nov., 1S94. His wife d. Nov. 3, 1883. Buried side by side in the 
Norwich (Ohio) Cemetery.

THOMAS MILLIKIN, ESQ., HAMILTON, OHIO 



I 
I 



MILUKJNS OF WASJJINGTON COUNT\\ FA. 3i>l 

Montfort, an eminent divine and educator, and entered Miami University 
in 1834, from which he graduated in July, 183S, In the fall of that year 
he began the study of law with Judge Elijah Vance. He was admitted to 
the bar in 1840, and rode on horseback to Columbus to pass his examina- 
tion and secure his diploma. He immediately entered upon practice, and 
three years later was appointed prosecuting attorney and served for one year. 
After this he declined to hold any public office, and for a period of more 
than sixty years was uninterruptedly engaged in the practice of his pro- 
fession. 

In 1874, he was tendered a commission as judge of the Supreme Court 
of Ohio, but the honor was declined. 

He was a close student and possessed a profound knowledge of law. 
For a long term of years he was employed as counsel in every important 
case in the county. He was equally qualified to handle criminal cases as 
for those of a civil and constitutional character. He was especially able in 
will cases and established a wide reputation by the victories he won in 
court ; and the reports of the Supreme Court of Ohio are full of cases in 
which he was engaged, and carry the impress of his masterful legal ability. 
He was a forceful and convincing pleader before the court and jury, shrewd 
and caustic in cross-examination, and adroit in keeping important testimony 
at the front. Born and educated during the pioneer period of Butler Co., 
Thomas Millikin was a great reader of the chronicles of early events in the 
history of the county and state, and this, with his experience of observation, 
made it a delight to listen to him. 

He was often called to deliver public addresses on various topics. On 
the anniversary — the one hundredth — celebration of the Declaration of In- 
dependence, July 4, 1876, he delivered an eloquent oration, and also at the 
Centennial Celebration in 1890, of building of Fort Hamilton, on which 
occasion he was president of the committee of arrangements. When the 
corner-stone of the court house at Hamilton was laid in 1885, he was the 
orator of the day. 

He was largely interested in the formation of the Hamilton Gas Light 
and Coke Company, and also of the Hamilton and Lindenwald Electric 
Transit Company, of which he was president. He had been the attorney 
for the C. H. & D. R. R. Company, and also attorney for the Big Four Rail- 
road Company. 

Ever kind and indulgent to his family and devotedly fond of his home 
life, honorable in all his dealings, respected for his ability and his courage, 
allied to no creed, but profound in his religious faith, Mr. Millikin retired 
from the active arena of life with the blessings and the tears of all who knew 
and honored him. He d. Nov. 10, 1899, and was interred by the side of 
his wife in Greenwood Cemetery. There were seven children, of whom 5th 
generation.

Aug. 2, 1827 ; m. Jan. i, 1857, Anna B. Aston, daughter of Rev. Samuel 
M. Aston, and resides at Decatur, 111. No issue. He was raised on a farm. 
His education was acquired in the common schools and by two years of 
study in Washington College. In the fall of 1850 he went to Illinois and 
first made his home in Danville. He commenced dealing in livestock and 
was very successful. His father knowing of his good judgment assisted 
him financially. 

In 1855 he began to invest extensively in government land, entering 
large tracts in Illinois and Iowa. Such investments were judiciously made 
and proved very profitable. Several thousand acres were bought at one 
dollar an acre and sold at a handsome advance in price. 

In 1857 he went to Decatur, 111., then a village of a few hundred people. 
He still had large investments in land and stock, and the next three years 
were spent in disposing of the stock and in realizing on some of the lands. 

In i860 the need of another bank became apparent in Decatur, and a 
number of business men suggested to Mr. Millikin that he was the man to 
establish one. Being inexperienced in banking business, he had not con- 
templated embarking in such a venture but after due consideration he de- 
cided that there was a good opening and established himself in banking 
under the firm name of "J. Millikin tV Co."

He has since given his entire time to this business. For. the first few 
years the growth of the house was small, but since 1870 the business rapidly 
increased. For a quarter of a century it has been one of the most sub- 
stantial and important banking institutions in the state. At this time, 
Ian., 1903, its deposits amount to more than $3,000,000, while the total de- 
posits of all the national banks in Decatur is only $4,450,000. In 1S97 the 
bank was incorporated as a national bank, the full name being the " Milli- 
kin National Hank." 

Some of the most important manufacturing and industrial enterprises in 
Decatur owe their existence and prosperity to the encouragement and support 
given them by Mr. Millikin. lie has been interested linancially in some 
of the most profitable industrial undertakings in the city, and still holds large 
shares in two or three of them. He has always been ready to lend his aid 
for anything that promised to promote the interests of the town, and has 
been public-spirited and generous where the general welfare was concerned. 

He is a man of strong convictions, has a mind of unusual clearness, and 
can see much farther into the future than most business men. feeing a good 
judge of human nature, he seldom makes a mistake in dealing with men. 
Few have been as uniformly successful as he has in all business undertakings. 

James Millikin was brought up to believe the doctrines of the Whig 
party. When that went out of existence, he became a Republican, and has 
since been a staunch supporter of that organization. 

About ten years ago Mr. Millikin gave a society of Decatur women en- 
gaged in charitable work a large frame building as a home for children and 
old ladies. An organization for the management of this home was formed 
under the name of "The Anna B. Millikin Home," the name being that of 
Mr. Millikin's wife, and was selected by the ladies establishing the institu- 
tion as a mark of respect for one who had taken an active interest in the 
welfare of the classes for whom this home was founded. The name was chosen 
without any suggestion from the donor of the building or his wife and was 
quite a surprise. After using this home for about ten years it became nec- 
essary to secure a much larger structure, and Mr. Millikin told the Board of 
Directors in charge that if they would raise $10,000 for a new building, 
he w'ould give that amount and a site. The requisite sum was secured among 
citizens of Decatur, an equal amount given by James Millikin, and a new 
home was erected on three acres of land donated by him as promised. The 
$20,000 failed to complete the building and he gave $5,000 more, and gives 
$700 annually towards its support. 

In 1895 Mr. Millikin erected a business building that will for centuries 
stand as a monument to his enterprise and success, it being one of the land- 
marks and the most important structure in Decatur. It was first planned 
for a banking house of "J. Millikin & Co.," an institution that took the 
main part of the first floor. On the other six floors are hundreds of offices. 
This magnificent and imposing structure is of stone and terra-cotta. The 
interior is of the most substantial finish, including marble, terra-cotta, and 
copper. 

For many years it was generelly known in Decatur that Mr. Millikin 
thought of lending his aid in the establishment of a school in that town. 
He owned a tract of sixteen acres of beautiful forest land on the borders of 
the city that had been used as a public park, known as "Oakland," but as

the town grew beyond the 20,000 mark it became too small for that purpose. 
Mr. Millikin had said years ago that he would like to see a college estab- 
lished in the park, and in May 1900, he stated that if the citizens of Decatur 
would give $100,000 toward such an institution he would give $200,000 and 
Oakland Park. 

This offer was received with enthusiasm, but before the work of raising 
by popular subscription the $100,000 was well under way, the Cumberland 
Presbyterian Church was included in the offer with the understanding that 
it should also raise $100,000 and that the school should be under their in- 
direct government. 

In September and October of 1900, the final arrangements for estab- 
lishing the school were made, the citizens of Decatur raising $100,000, the 
Cumberland Presbyterians of three synods, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, a 
like amount, and Mr. Millikin turning over $200,000. The three synods 
named organized a college commission, and that commission organized the 
new school by naming the Board of Control, most of the members residents 
of Decatur. The College Commission also combined with the school a 
Cumberland Presbyterian School at Lincoln, 111. This had existed for 
many years under the name of "Lincoln University." Mr. Millikin had 
during 1900 given that institution $50,000 on condition that its friends 
raise $25,000 ; this they secured. The new establishment at Decatur was 
known as "The James Millikin University," the name being selected by the 
Board of Control without any suggestion from its principal patron. The 
institution included two branches, Lincoln College and Decatur College. 
The main office of the University is at Decatur. The University now has 
over 700 students, and since its opening Mr. Millikin has contributed from 
$20,000 to $30,000 a year as it has been needed, and as long as it is con- 
ducted as a non-sectarian institution, largely industrial, he will probably 
continue that amount or more indefinitely. 

The years igoi and 1902 were devoted to planning and erecting several 
buildings in Oakland Park, the site of the new school, and Sept. 1903, was 
fixed as a date for the opening of Decatur College. The dedication by 
President Roosevelt. 

James Millikin has for many years had one of the handsomest residences 
in the state of Illinois. The house is of brick and stone, large, beautiful in 
design and elegantly furnished. It is remarkable for the lovely grounds 
with which it is surrounded. The mansion is situated near the centre of a 
six-acre tract of land in the best residential section of the city. The grounds 
have been improved with good taste and are maintained with scrupulous 
care. During the last few years Mr. Millikin's wealth has increased rapidly.

2. Col. Minor M. Millikin'' (1), second son of John^ (3), b. July 9, 1834; m. 
Sept. 2, 1855, Mary INIollvneaux, and d. Dec. 31, 1862. at the battle of 
Stone River. He attended the public schools of Hamilton, O., and then 
entered !Miami College, Indiana, where he remained two years. In 1852 he 
went to Miami University, where he was a marked man — not on account of 
his scholarship, though he stood well — but on account of his individuality. 
To quote W'hitelaw Reid in his " Ohio in the War " : " Nothing could exceed 
his personal independence, his uniform regard for the feelings of others, his 
peremptory requirement that under all circumstances, in all places, from all 
persons, a similar regard should be extended to his own. Professor or presi- 
dent might infringe upon them, but never without an instant and indignant 
protest, who proceeded upon the simple basis that he was a gentleman, and no 
college official could be more." He was the athlete of tlie college, and there 
are traditions of his skill as a boxer and fencer. It is said that he would " put 
on the gloves "' with five or six men at a time, when in the old gymnasium at 
Hamilton. At one time he undertook to teach some soldiers the use of the 
broadsword, and wTote home that he usually had his own way in this exercise, 
but that there was one big, awkward fellow who kept him pretty bus)- ; this 
was none other than James A. Garfield, afterwards President of the United 
States. 

Oxford, the seat of Miami University, had and still has some female semi- 
naries, and the president and teachers of these institutions, if made of the 
proper stuff, led anxious lives during the school session because of the young 
men's pranks. In some way Elinor Millikin incurred the wTath of one of the 
presidents. He was the "honor orator"' of his society at the winter exhibi- 
tion. This president, with many young ladies of the school, was in attend- 



396 MILLIKINS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, PA. 

ance at the exercises. The orator of the evening, seeing an opportunity for 
sweet revenge, left his announced oration, and took for his subject the pre- 
vailing system of female education, and for an hour made "courteous fun" 
of the president's methods. 

He graduated in 1854 and went to Harvard Law School, where he took 
an active part in stirring debates before the Law School Congress on the 
slavery question. An attempt was made by Southern students to break up 
the school, acting much as Southern Senators do in Congress. Two students 
led the opposition to this attempt, one being George W. Smalley, son-in-law 
to Wendell Phillips, and the other Minor M. Millikin. 

After leaving Harvard, he entered the law otifice of Thomas Corwin. A 
year later he was married and started on a bridal tour in Europe, which lasted 
a twelvemonth. After his return he bought the Hamilton Intelligeiicer, the 
Republican paper for Butler County, and was its editor for two years ; then 
sold and retired to his farm. 

The civil war now came on, and he enlisted in the cavalry. As the gov- 
ernment could not furnish horses in time to get the company off to West Vir- 
ginia, he advanced funds for the purchase of twenty-four. After a campaign 
of three months he was indorsed by his commander as the best cavalry officer 
in that department, a recommendation which aided him in securing the ap- 
pointment of major of the ist Ohio Cavalry. When the colonel of this com- 
mand resigned. Major ]Millikin was promoted to fill the vacancy; an action 
which excited such jealousy that he was ordered before a board of regular 
officers for examination, to prove if the charges of incompetency could be 
sustained. He passed the examination and received the highest compliments 
of his examiners. 

In the battle of Stone River he ordered a charge with the expectation of 
being supported by the infantry, but the little band of cavalry found itself cut 
off from retreat and surrounded by a superior force. While engaged in a hand- 
to-hand fight he was shot in the neck and almost instantly killed. His.remains 
were recovered and brought back to Hamilton. In his will he expressed a 
wish that he should be buried without pomp ; that a slab of native stone, over 
which wild vines might grow, should mark his resting-place ; and then he 
added, " Let it be forgotten that I am there." 

Prof. David Swing of Chicago, who was intimately acquainted with him, 
said at the time of his death : " The soul of Minor Millikin was of the intense 
school. What he was, he was thoroughly ; whom he liked, he liked deeply ; 
whom he disliked, he disliked cordially. . . . His mind was many-sided. To 
the taste for literature he added a love for the practical in ordinary life. He 
was philosophic and romantic, ready to lecture on reform or to weave together 
such thoughts as might win for him the title of a poet. He loved that progress 
that comes by a better education, and he loved also that progress of ideas 
which comes through the sword. He was ready to teach kindly a little child 
or to meet his foe with terrible force on the battlefield. Talented, original, 
independent, brave, he was also affectionate and religious. He had some 
faults, but far more virtues, and the deformity of the former fades from our 
sight while we look upon the beauty of the latter, just as the spots upon the 
sun are not remembered while we stand in the fields of June." 

The widow and only son of Minor Millikin are now living in Bellevue, 
Ky.

DR, DANIEL MILLIKIN, HAMILTON, OHIO 



MILLIKJNS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, J'A. 3«J7 

1. I'Aii. M1111K.1N, b A])r. 4. 1858, at HaiiiilK^n, ( ). : 111. Minnik Thomas, 
and resides at liellevue, Ky. He is general secretary of tlie Cincinnati 
Transfer Company. Has been one of the councilnien of JJellevue. Is 
interested in the gymnasium and something of an athlete. Now (1904) 
city marshal or chief of police. 

3. Mary J. Millikin'' (6), eldest daughter of John^ (3). b. in Hamilton, O., Jan. 
29, 1837 ; d. Sept. 22, 1838. 

4. Rev. Joseph Millikin'^ (5). third son of John^ (3), b. in Hamilton. ().. Jan. 
2$, 1840; m. July 25. 1S65, Kmii.v Brown, daughter of Samuel Brown of 
Trenton, N. J., and d. at Hamilton. Nov. 14, 1883. He attended at the old 
Miami University, where he graduated in 1859. He was a very precocious 
child, and, like most such, of a delicate constitution ; for this reason he was 
not allowed in school for several years, but nevertheless graduated at the age 
of nineteen. After leaving the university he went to Minnesota with his 
friend and classmate, ^^'hitelaw Reid, where he '' roughed it " for awhile. He 
next went to Princeton Seminary. He went to Europe in 186 1 and again in 
1862, in which year he was licensed to preach, and began at New Paris, Preble 
Co., O., where he remained until the spring of 1863, when ill health compelled 
him to make another trip abroad. He preached at times until 1S71, when he 
accepted the chair of Greek in Miami University. In 1873 he took the chair 
of Modern Languages and Literature in the Ohio State L^niversity, where he 
remained till 1881. That winter he spent in Florida, hoping to regain his 
health, but in vain, for he came back without improvement, and soon died. 

His mind, so philosophical in his earlier years, later took a turn toward liv- 
ing nature, and one passion with him was botany. His preaching was hardly 
up to the standard of orthodoxy adopted by his Presbyterian congregations, 
and as he could not conscientiously preach according to the teachings of that 
body he gradually ceased. He was a man of great industry, but his work was 
never temperately done ; it was performed in such a way and at such a time 
that stronger corjstitntions than his would have broken down.

19, 1S43; ^^'^^ "^- J^^iie 22, 1865, to Hkxry Libby, of Portland. Me., and d. at 
Hamilton, Oct. 19, 1870. 

6. Dr. Daniel Millikin-^ (6), fourth son of John^ (3), b. in Hamilton, O., Apr. 
17. 1845; 111- Oct. 9. 1866, Amanda Hunter, daughter of William and Anna 
(Jeneper) Hunter. His early life was spent on the farm and at the country 
and public schools of his native town. He graduated from the high school 
in 1862-3. and in 1863-4 he attended the Sheffield School at Yale, giving at- 
tention mostly to chemistry. With his young wife he began housekeeping on 
his father's farm in 1866, and remained nine years, doing outdoor work and 
studying. During the summer of 1873, the year of the Greeley campaign, 
while on a visit to Minneapolis, he contributed some editorials to the Minne- 
apolis Times, a paper devoted to Horace Greeley, and edited by Mr. Plinny 
Bartlett, formerly of Hamilton, O. The journalistic fever was now very 
strong on him ; life on the farm hardly offered the opportunities he desired, 
and he sought a larger sphere. Finally he devoted his time to the .study of 
medicine, and attended Miami Medical College, from which he graduated in 
1875. He has since been actively engaged in practice in Hamilton. O. 
From 1886 to 1893 ^e filled the chair of "Chemistry, ^Medical Jurisprudence, 



308 MILLIKINS OF WAS HI XG TON COUNTY. FA. 

and Materia Medica and Therapeutics," in Miami Medical College. In 1893 
he resigned from the faculty because he could not spend the time in Cincinnati 
necessar}' for his studies. 

Dr. Millikin has been a prolific writer on pedagogics, especially on physi- 
ological lines. On several occasions he has delivered addresses in neighbor- 
ing counties, on that and kindred subjects. He contributed the sketch of 
Butler County in " Butler County Artwork," a book recently issued in Chi- 
cago. He also wrote an article for the '' Centennial Souvenir Book of Hamil- 
ton,'' on the literary men of the city, not published in 1S94. His many papers 
on medical subjects are made doubly attractive by his rare literary style. He 
was, when this sketch was written (1894), the senior physician in Hamilton 
engaged in active practice. There were four children, named as follows : 

I. Dr. Mark Millikin**, b. Mar. 23, 1868, at Fairfield, O. ; m. June 29, 
1893, May Beckeii", daughter of William and Martha (Woods) Beckett.

Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, Md.. 18S6-7, 1887-8, 1888-9, 
and was, in 1894, a practising physician in Hamilton, O., under the 
names of " Millikin & Millikin." Dr. Millikin undertook to compile a 
full genealogy of the Millikin family in 1894, and collected much of 
the data published herewith. He had one child, Frances^, b. Apr. 28, 
1894.

A VISION OF THE PAST. 

So dreamily my mind shut out the worries of the day, 

I listened to a gentle voice — a little bird's soft lay. 

Tiius lulled into a calm, my idle musings roamed at last, 

Back, slowly, to the deep and shaded chasm of the past. 

My day dreams built a slender bridge to childhood's golden days, 

Antl memory came to lead me through the dark forgotten ways. 

Back to those gladsome years we went, — those laughing, happy times, 

When every streamlet sang to me in merry-making rhymes, 

And when dull, sordid care dared not my youthful brow to touch, 

Nor weary, grinding labor, sap the energies from such 

A sunlit heart as throbbed within my careless, childish breast. 

Ah, then all nature stretched her arms and my young life caressed. 

I saw with joy my mother's deep, dark eyes, so calm, so mild. 
With confidential love rest long on me, her youngest child; 
.\nd \\'ith her tender blessings say, "Aim high; in every deed 
Grasp close the truth unto thy soul and have it for thy creed." 
I saw those hands that toiled for me through many weary years. 
Which now he folded, deep within death's valley, damp with tears. 

And then I saw my father dear, so tall, erect and fair. 

His eyes so wonderfully kind were dyed with blue so rare. 

.\round his pleasant features jjlayed, half sad, a gentle smile, • 

As I climbed again upon his knee to rest a Uttle while. 

I tried to grasp the weighty things that in his mind held sway. 

Then teasing me, he slid me down, till at his feet I lay. 

My sisters pure — as true as steel — were there to welcome me; 
My brothers, too, were in their place, just as they used to be. 
Some of the girls have father's image chiseled in their face; 
The others, dark, bear mother's looks \vith sweet, becoming grace. 
The contrast was as marked between the boys — that jolly pair. 
They were our mother's special pride, our father's fondest care. 

The same old walnut table stood in its accustomed place. 
.•\ sweet reunion there was held without one missing face. 
Fond memory's fingers touched the grand pianoforte again. 
Which breathed a strain so low and soft, it chloroformed my brain. 
The old cane rocker's friendlv arms were extended lovinglv; 
The family clock ticked slowly on its merry chime to me. 

Out on the blue grass lawn the white syringa as of old 

Stood modestly in touch with the red japonica bold; 

The towering cedars, mated, stood on either side the walk; 

The flowers nod their dainty heads as if they ^vished to talk. 

All this and more I saw, as I strayed in childish play. 

When lo! so loath to leave, my memory bade me "come away." 

Back through the bypaths of my life, past bhghted hopes and graves, 

We came. The family's scattered; O, much is lost my soul now fondly craves; 

But through this melancholy gloom I saw the brighter side, 

Of hopes fulfilled and loves returned; and hearts in hearts confide. 

I face the present, grasp love's hand, and cease all idle strife. 

With fresh resolves to beautify the remnant of my life.

University, Ada, O. She was engaged in teaching several years in her native 
town. She went to Ohio City in 1892, where she taught three years in the 
eighth grade, when impaired health made cessation of teaching imperative. 
Yicldinir to an inclination she had felt for vears — " because medicine is in the 
Millikin blood, and must crop out occasionally " — she began the study of 
medicine, graduating from the Ohio Medical University, Columbus, O., 
in 1898. Upon competitive examination she was appointed one of the resi- 
dent physicians of the Protestant Hospital for the next year, but owing to the 
financial difficulties of that institution was not allowed the privilege of the ser- 
vice. Since 1899 she has been located in her native village, Ontario, O.,

Emma has with great painstaking and excellence compiled the genealogy of

engaged in teaching, and continued in that profession until her m. Mr. 
Caton taught several terms, then completed his college course, graduating 
from the O. N. G. in 1889. He then taught high school until his health 
failed, and they located in Northern Georgia, where both again engaged in 
teaching. Finding the climate conducive to better health, they located perma- 
nently in the " Sunny South," having purchased a farm near Cleveland, Tenn. 

3. Laura Millikin" (1), third daughter of William-^ (9), b. in Richland, O., Jan- 
16, 187 I, like her sisters supplemented her preliminary education by attend" 
ance at the Ohio Normal University at Ada, O., and continued the family 
precedent by teaching with excellent success, and always near home. Though 
possessed of ordinary good health, she found, if this w'as not to be sacrificed, 
she must discontinue her professional work. She now resides with her 
mother and sister at Ontario, O. She has for several years been county secre- 
tary of the S. S. Association work. Has travelled extensively, and is an active 
force in the community.

CHILDREN OF JOHN H. AND LENORA A. "WALKER.

Oct. 4, 1867. His father and younger brother d. in 1870. He was left to the

CASSIUS BYRON MILLIKIN. 
Demise of a Well Known and Promising Young Man. 

Cassius Byron Millikin was b. Oct. 4, 1867, and departed this life, Nov. 26, 
1896. aged 29 years, i month, and 23 days. 

When quite young he began his studies in the district school. So great 
was his mental quickness that he learned the tasks imposed upon him with 
comparatively little effort. His temperament was active and joyous. His 
parents were justly proud of the boy, who in youth gave such unusual promise 
of a bright and honorable future. After pursuing his studies in the district 
school for several years, he entered the Ohio Normal University at Ada, from 
which institution he graduated in the Scientific Course with well-earned honors. 
Turning his attention to the profession of teaching, he for several years took 
rank as one of the most successful teachers in Madison Co., but the medical 
profession was his choice, and having secured by his own labors the neces- 
sary funds, he entered the Ohio Medical College, from which institution he 
graduated, securing his diploma last spring. He was then the very picture of 
health and bodily vigor, and gave promise of a long life of usefulness. But 
inevitable death was hovering over him then, anxious to claim so fair a victim. 
That dreaded disease, consumption, had taken hold on him, and his vitality was 
slowly diminished. Unable to attend to the profession he adored, he went 
South last spring in the hopes that the salubrious climate of western North 
Carolina would alleviate his sufferings. For awhile temporary relief was 
obtained, but it was not lasting, and in a few weeks he returned to the old 
home that had witnessed his youthful triumphs, to die. He is dead, but his 
rare qualities of mind and heart will remain as pleasant memories to those who 
knew him well. He had a strong and abiding faith in the living God, and was 
always a consistent Christian. At the age of thirteen he united with the 
Bapti-st Church. He was a willing helper in the church, and was often the 
only young man at the business meetings of the organization. It has been 
truly said that in the final analysis of all things nothing remains but character. 
In this instance what a rich and precious legacy this is to his family and 
friends ! And as this life is but a trust to be executed and accounted for, 
those who knew how well he performed his trust will hope that the account of 
it which he is ready to render may secure him a home in another world of 
brightness and of beauty, where he may dwell in one of those mansions that 
are in our Father's House. 

His widow is now living with her parents, Stephen and Anna Frances Gary. 

2. John Willard Millikin" (13), second son of John^ (12), b. June 18, 1869,

'I'his family was descended from the same Scotch-Irish ancestry as many 
others whose pedigrees are found in this voUime, and the prominent charac- 
teristics developed by them are the same. These are said to be great con- 
scientiousness, firmness blended with strong sympathies and emotions, habits 
of industry, frugality, and liberality, a hatred of cant and hypocrisy, and 
strong religious inclinations. They have manifested indifference to display or 
notoriety, but are not averse to deserved merit and advancement. One who 
is familiar with them has written : " 1 have never heard of one of them, old or 
young, being charged with the least act of dishonesty, and I never knew that 
one of the family was arrested or charged with a criminal offence." Illustra- 
tions could be given of their acts of benevolence, philanthropy and helpfulness 
to others almost unparalleled. 

Robert Milliken^ (1), came from Londonderry, Ireland, about the year 
iSoi, and settled in Huntingdon Co., Pennsylvania. He had married, and it 
was reported that several sons were left in his native land who never came to 
America. A younger brother came but was killed by the kick of a horse 
soon after his arrival. In the course of three or four years Robert Milliken 
removed to Mercer County, and settled two miles north of Sharon, on a farm, 
where he remained until his death. This farm remains in the Milliken 
family. 

He brought over two certificates of character. One reads : " I do hereby 
certify that I have known Robert Milliken these twelve years past, & he 
always Behaved Soberly, Honestly and Industriously." This was dated at 
Kille'roughan, County Londonderry, May 9, 1801. The second document 
contained the following : " I do sartify that Robert Millikan was born & 
allers Resided in the Congregation of Gobermore, parish of Killeroacha & 
County of Londonderry, and is a Regular member and may be admitted into 
the priveledges of any worshipping Society or Congregation. Sartified May 
15, 1801, by Sam'l Sinclair." 

Tradition claims that this Robert Milliken was only two or three genera- 
tions removed from Scottish ancestors who left Scotland because of religious 
persecution. These Millikens were of the staunch Covenanter stock and in- 
tense haters of Romanists. Robert was married to Mary Semple in Mercer 
Countv, and by this union four children were born, named as follows : 

1. James Milliken^ (1), eldest son of Robert* (1), settled upon the farm where 
he was b. and remained there during his long and useful life. He was a man 
of great benevolence and sterling integrity who had the esteem of a wide cir-

possession of a lucrative law practice, a good share of worldly goods, and the 
esteem of his fellow citizens." He was admitted to the bar in 1880, and was, 
in 1894, President of the Kansa!> State 15ar Association — the highest honor 
that can come to a lawyer from his professional contemporaries. As a trial 
lawyer he is bold, yet cautious ; deliberate, yet decisive; candid, and intensely 
earnest. He is a clear reasoner and energetic speaker, always pathetic and 
often eloquent, unbounded in sympathy, but severe when required. With a 
power to read men's minds as an open book, he reaches the hearts and con- 
vinces the judgment of juries and succeeds in trials as few men do. He is 
pre-eminently successful in criminal cases, and always defends upon the 
theory that the causes which impel criminal acts are proper subjects for judi- 
cial consideration. He delights in the study of sociology, and often declares 
that his highest ambition is to become a hnuycr, with all that word implies — 
hence the ethical standard of his piofessional life is on a high plane. In a 
word. John 1). Milliken is a Christian citizen. Three children, named as fol-

Family tradition makes this branch of the MiUiken clan of Ulster stock. 
It is said that three brothers, whose names were Thomas, James, and Michael, 
came froni some of the northern counties of Ireland about 1750-4, of whom 
the latter died on the voyage, and the two former sat down in Chester Co., 
Pa. We know from the early records of Chester, that a whole nest of Milli- 
kens were living there as early as 1750, aid that numerous branches hailing 
from this locality have scattered through Pennsylvania, Ohio, and many states 
farther west. Some removed to North Carolina during the great Quaker immi- 
gration as early as 175S, and their posterity is now almost as numberless as 
the "sands on the seashore." There was a James Milliken (spelled Millican 
by an illiterate clerk) at East Nantmeal, Chester Co., Pa., from 1753 to 1756, 
whose name appears on the tax lists as "unmarried." 

This Juniata family is from old Presbyterian stock, and many of the name 
are still communicants of that church, vo which a number of clergymen have 
been given, one at least of world-wide fame as the hero of Johnstown, Pa., 
during the great flood, and one a missionary to China. The characteristics 
of the Scotch-Irish have been conspicuous in this family from their ancestor 
to the present generation. They are conservative, determined, honest, and 
good state builders ; progressive and fond of education. Many, latterly, are 
in the medical profession. Some were Democrats, but left the party on the 
slavery issue, and recently a good number are Prohibitionists. They have 
inherited mechanical tastes and abilities, and their attention has been turned 
toward mechanical engineering and wood-working. Many have been farmers ; 
some of them prominent as patrons of husbandry. Without aspiring to 
political distinction, some were calleci to legislative halls, and others to dis- 
charge the duties of judicial positions. 

Note. — There is preserved in this family as an heirloom, a day-book of one John 
Milliken who was a merchant in Dublin. Ireland, in the early part of last century (the i8th), 
and family tradition, which lacks verification, has it that this John Milliken came to Dublin 
from Caithness, Scotland (Cromarty), and that three of his sons, or sons of Thomas his 
brother, emigrated to America, sat down in Chester Co., Pa., and became the ancestors of a 
host of Millikens in the middle and wester^".! states. Tliere were certainly families of this 
name in Caithnesshire, Scotland, as records in this book prove; and early in the iSth century 
a small army of Millikens in Chester Co., Pa. 

Thomas Milliken^ (1), parents' names unknown, b. as early as 1730, came from 
one of the northern counties of Ireland, and with his brother, as before 
mentioned, sat down first in Chester Co., Pa. He subsequently secured a 
grant of several hundred acres of land in Juniata Co., probaloly between 1760 
and 1770, and there cleared his farm, now in Spruce Hill Township in the 
Tuscarora Valley. He married Jane McConnell, a daughter of a pioneer 
family. At the beginning of the Revolution, he with several neighbors walked 
to Lancaster, Pa., where they joined a company of expert riflemen, then being 
made up ; a company that became a part of the Second Regiment, and was sent 
to Cambridge, Mass., where they arrived Aug. 4, 1775, and participated in 
the latter engagements in the locality under General Lee. He was with

start. In 1 7 78, completely broken down by loni( marches, exposure to cold 
and hunger, he was sent home and soon died. He was buried in the "McKee 
graveyard," so called. His sons were: John, Jniius, F.i/il'iVi/. Siimiicl and 
Thomas.

volume, tliat his grandfatlier had three or four dau<j;hters; that one m. //u^^/ics, one- m. Guil- 
ford, and anotiier m. Gray. .Suhsftiuent statements from a reliable source show that there 
were twin daughters of Mrs. .Milliken named Mary and Martha, who were only half-sisters 
of the sons of Thomas Milliken. Mary Milliken m. George Guilford, and Martha Milliken

The Milliken Homestead. 

The old Milliken homestead is situated about one mile from the Fort of the 
Tuscarora Mountain, and on the northwest side, and originally consisted of 
400 acres, but divided into three farms, the homestead comprising 170 acres. 
The first house, built of rough, undressed logs, was of two rooms, and had an 
immense chimney also built of logs. This pioneer dwelling stood on a hill 
directly east from the present house, which is in the centre of the farming 
land. It was built about 1754, and was the scene of an Indian tragedy. 
After the second house was built, the old log hut was tenanted by a family 
named Jacobs. One evening when his wife was preparing supper, her hus- 
band was trying to soothe their year-old babe, and becoming impatient ex- 
claimed, " If you do not keep quiet I will call the Indians to take you," and 
at that moment a tawny hand was extended over his shoulder, the child grasped, 
and in another instant its blood stained the door-post ; while the unhappy 
father was bound, and compelled to see his wife tomahawked and scalped. 
The supper was eaten by the Indians, and Jacobs, a prisoner, marched toward 
the setting sun. When they reached a spring the Indians bound their captive 
to a beech tree (which is still standing), and while thus confined, with a nail 
which he found in his pocket, he scratched the story on the bark. The 
savages were pursued, overtaken when asleep, left dead around their camp fire, 
and their captive brought back in triumph. 

The present residence, and the fifth house built on the farm, was erected 
in 1833. It is of mountain stone, the walls are two feet in thickness, and 
there is an immense chimney at each end with four open fireplaces, chimney 
pieces and mantles. This house has nine rooms, and a hall nine feet 
wide extending from side to side, in which a stair leads to the second 
story. Water is brought in pipes from a never failing spring at the foot of 
a hill on which the mansion stands. A fine apple orchard is cultivated on 
the northwest, and with peaches, pears, and grapes on the southeast. Every 
field on the farm is named, and the site of each of the five houses is well 
known. 

On the northwest side of the farm is the highway leading from Mexico to Con- 
cord, known locally as the " mountain road." The nearest town on the 
Pennsylvania railroad is nine miles away. This homestead is in Spruce Hill 
Township. The McKees' graveyard, where many of the Milliken family are 
buried, is on the south side of the hill about one mile from the house, and is 
a small enclosure.

John Milliken, a sheep farmer in Ayrshire, Scothuul, lived near the outlet and 
within a stone's throw of Loch Doon. He was b. in the year 1700. his 
parents' names not known. l!y his first niarriai^c, late in life, he had a son 
John, and after the death of this wife, whose maiden name does not ai)pear, 
he m. M.\RGAREr Milligan of Gallowayshire. in 1781. She was of the old 
family so long possessed of Klackmyre farm. By this union there were two 
sons, Tliomas ■Awdi James. The father d. in 1785. and, in accordance with the 
prevalent custom, the widow retained her maiden name; and as the father was 
dead, the sons spelled their names "Milligan " as their mother continued to 
do. She was afterwards m. to William MacAdam, a near relative of John 
Loudon MacAdam who invented the system of road-making that bears his 
name. See forward for genealogy of descendants. 

Note. — The members of this family in Scotland were members of the Established 
Presbyterian Church. 

I. John Milligan- (2), eldest son of John^ (1), b. on Meadowhead farm, Ayr- 
shire, Scotland, Oct. 13, 1752; emigrated to America in 1773, locating near 
Carlisle, Penn., where he managed a flouring mill, and in 1775 m. Mary 
Adams, who was b. in 1750, and d. Jan. 6, 1843, aged 93 years. In 1780 they 
settled in South Huntinton Township, Westmoreland Co., Penn., on a farm 
then owned by John Carnahan, and since known as the " Willow Tree Farm." 
In 1785 he purchased the farm near Bell's Mills in Sewickley Township, and 
ever smce known as the " Milligan Farm," where his descendants still remain 
and continue the title. He d. Apr. 30, 1837, and was buried in the Dick 
churchyard. His family consisted of ten children, three sons and seven 
daughters, of whom more with 3d generation. 

John Milligan, Esq.'s, first residence on the " Willow Tree Farm" was noth- 
ing more or less than a log cabin about 30 feet long and 18 feet wide, which 
was kitchen, bedroom, dining-room, all within the enclosure. The garret '~t'n- 
sisted of all the space above the square of the building, and was the f:^;ahary 
and provisional repository of all their eatables, — their smoked m,ats, floor, 
corn, etc. 

The house was built of logs, unhewed ; the cracks were "dosed by mo«;s. and 
pieces of wood, split of sufficient size to drive into the interspace. The floor 
was made oi pu?ic/ieons, which were simple timbers split into such thickness as to 
make an even surface, then hewn into the level after the .';ame was laid. 

There were four windows, which consisted of four lif;hts of glass 8 by 10. 
The door was also of split material, pinned together, and hung by wooden 
hinges, with an immense bar fastened on the inside to Secure it against forcible 
entrance. The fastening of the door was a wooden latch with a string passing 
through a hole to the outside ; and for safety against the intrusion of wander- 
ing Indians, the string was pulled inside at night, Avhich was a sure sign 
that they were at home. And when the latch-string was found outside the 
door, it was conceded that the family was "'stt-hoMie " to the public. 



45G MJLLJKINS OF AYRSHIRE, SCOTLAND. 

About two years after their residence was established here, the family went 
to attend a wedding, and while there, in the evening when all was being made 
merry, the frivolities were quickly quelled by a runner who announced the 
fact that there were Indians skulking around in the neighborhood. This im- 
mediately caused them all to look after their rifles, which had been carried 
with them as was customary to do on all occasions. About this time it was 
discovered and announced that John Milligan's house was on fire, and it 
proved only too true. This was in the fall of the year after everything had 
been stored for the winter. An immediate skirmish line was thrown out, and 
the settlers scoured the vicinity, but beyond catching sight of a fleeing Indian 
and an exchange of a few shots, no further results were obtained. When the 
fire had sufiiciently died out to enable them to look after their belongings, 
they found that the sum total of their personal property, not destroyed, con- 
sisted of an iron kettle, remnants of a couple of knives, and an iron spoon. 
This same kettle is an heirloom, and is owned by Margaret Milligan, daughter 
of John, son of John. 

This sad loss necessitated John, Esq., to begin again, and little by little 
the\- accumulated sufficient to refurnish a second log cabin on this farm, but, 
being progressi\-e, he began to look around for a home of his own. He de- 
cided on a farm which was located across the Big Sewickley Creek, and it 
consisted of 248 acres which had been patented by Andrew Baggs, and 
bought and occupied by John Milligan, Esq., in the year 1785. 

This farm had as improvements, the pioneer log cabin or house of about 
equal dimensions as the first homestead, and was called " Andrew's Retreat." 
It also had what was known as a " Still House," located within a few yards of 
where Walter B. Milligan now lives. A few acres had been cleared, and the 
balance of the estate was covered with heavy forests of white oak, sprinkled 
along the stream with beech and maple, and interspersed with hickory, wal- 
nut, and wild cherry. 

The farm, in its entirety, falls east and south, rolling with some abruptness 
on the eastern border along the " Big Sewickley Creek ; " along with some 
additional acreage, a frontage of nearly two miles was covered. The land all 
receded,, from the creek in a gentle slope, was well watered with never fail- 
ing spring(>,. and the soil of which was arable, nearest the creek, of heavy 
limestone. land, while the higher ridges of the farm were of sandy loam. 
The.fiv^lc {prmation consists of sandstone, limestone, and all underlaid with 
coal.' jt/^jj 

Later on, about the year 1802, preparations were made for building a 
homestead qiore desirable in its character. A brickyard was started within 
a few huqdred yar4s of where the new home was to be built, and by the year 
1804 the present mansion was built of brick; the dimensions of the main 
building being 60 feet long by 24 feet wide, with 10 feet stories, and cellar 
under the main building, the foundation wall being on solid rock except about 
3 feet. The stone wall was of ;sufticient height to clear the surface of the 
ground. Then the brick wall started which was 23 inches thick, which thick- 
ness was carried from the stone wall to the top of the first story ; then from 
that to the square of the building was 18 inches. 

The framework, windows and doors, were of the best selected oak, and 
the finish, doors, staircases, and mantles, were made of wild cherry. Two of 
the mantles, one in the diniiMg-room, and the other in the room above, are the

work of James C. Millij^an, bcautilull\ carved, all done with a chisel and 
penknife. 

The dividing walls are all brick on the first story. The kitchen was not 
completed until the ne.xt year, its dimensions being 20 feet by 20 feet, built on 
the same general principle as the balance of the house, excepting that the 
fireplace was 8 feet wide, capable of admitting logs 8 feet long, with the 
swinging iron crane from which were suspended the kettles of all sizes and 
kinds. 

The bureau was made in 1S06, and remains in its appointed place. Grand- 
father's clock, with its dials of moon and montli plate, stands in the dining- 
room on a base-board wiiich was placed there at the time of the construction 
of the house, and is still doing duty with its two weights of 16 pounds each 
and catgut strings. The original cost was seventy-five dollars. 

At this old homestead many interesting customs were inaugurated. The 
first apple-butter made west of the mountains was made in 1805, and was 
boiled in the old still-tub at the old Still House, and stirred with a split broom. 

On this farm under the sheltering arms of two huge oak trees, near to 
where the county road now crosses, was the acknowledged rendezvous for the 
pioneer residents of this section on Sundays where the preaching of the old- 
time Covenanter was done, and where the assembling was always conditional. 

If, in the early morn, the hoot of the owl was heard, and repeated at in- 
tervals after the early morning had past tjU near church time, it meant, 
"Indians are prowling around — there will be no services — stand by your 
homes till next Sunday." 

The rifle was to the pioneer of more use than his pocket-book, and the 
old rifle which Squire John acquired soon after his advent in America (still 
owned by Alexander Milligan) was the mainstay of his family. 

Some Incidents in the Life of John Milligan, Esq. 

John Milligan was by occupation a miller, and while in Chester County he 
owned a mill and ground corn which was delivered to Washington's Army 
during the winter of 1777, and so long as it was possible to supply him by the 
then only way of transportation, — a pack-horse. 

The removal from that locality, to " Willow Tree Farm," consisted of a pack- 
horse which carried all his belongings together with old grandmother Milligan 
and a babe in arms, while the Squire walked, carrying his rifle, which, later 
on, has become historic. 

In the year 1S02, Squire John, with his son Alexander and one William 
Pinkerton, left Robbstown, now called West Newton, with a flat-boat loaded 
with flour and whiskey, and after weeks of peril and hard work, reached New 
Orleans, only to discover, on inspecting his cargo, that the flour had spoiled. 
Pinkerton was discouraged, and determined to walk home. John, however, 
decided that he would reship and take his cargo to Liverpool, England. The 
whiskey he sold, as it had improved during the time ; and the flour was sold to 
starch-makers, bill-posters, and to whoever he could get to use any of it. 
Some was traded for china and various other commodities. 

Then visiting his old home, he induced his brother, afterwards the Rev. 
James, to accompany him. After reaching Philadelphia witli the aggre- 
gation of china, etc., which has been handed down as heirlooms, they walked 
the 350 miles to their home on the Sewickley. 



458 MILLIKINS OF AYRSHIRE, SCOTLAND. 

John Milligan, Esq., was appointed Justice of Peace for Westmoreland 
County, which at that time embraced all of the country west of the Alleghany 
Mountains. This appointment was made by Gov. Thomas Mifflin, soon after 
his inauguration, which occurred Dec. 21, 1790, he being the first Governor of 
Pennsylvania under the Constitution of 1790. Squire John served in the 
capacity of Ju.stice until his death. His reputation for uniting couples in the 
bonds of matrimony spread rapidly over the community — the older forms of 
wedlock as ministered by the divines of that day being tedious — being 
more pleasing to the young on account of its brevity. 

Many incidents relating to the vows taken in Squire John's office are re- 
lated by tradition. One is of especial interest. During the midnight hours 
after retiring, it necessitated a hurried service to avoid paternal anger which was 
also after the fleeing youngsters. When notified of the fact of the waiting of 
an anxious couple, he sat up in bed and asked if they were of adult age ; 
and finding it to be true, had them brought in and married them without rising. 

2. Thomas Milligan- (1), second son of John^ (1), b. at Meadowhead Farm, 
Ayrshire, Scot., in 1783, and d. in 1803. 

3. Rev. James Milligan, D.D.- (1), third son of Johni (1), was born at the 
Meadowhead Farm, three miles north of Dalmellington, and half a mile east 
of the outlet of Loch Doon, Aug. 7, 1785, and there lived with his mother and 
brothers until his eighteenth birthday. He had attended the academy at Ayr, 
and niade good progress in his studies until a sad event weaned him from his 
native country. A fellow-student and companion, old enough to do military 
duty, had failed to remove some flour from his coat-sleeve when hastily sum- 
moned from the mess-room for review ; for this offence the reviewing officer 
ordered him to be beaten with the paddle, and under the infliction he died. 
James Milligan then resolved that he would never bear arms under King 
George, and at once made preparation for coming to America. His brother 
John having just then been home on a visit, James sailed with him from Li\er- 
pool, Oct. 28, 1802, in the ship " Mavina " of Greenock, bound for Philadelphia. 
After a stormy passage of sixty-two days, the vessel put into New York in dis- 
tress. After taking in supplies of food and water, the ship was again delayed 
by ice in the Delaware River, prolonging the voyage to nearly three months. 

Reaching Sewickley Township, Pa., he worked for his brother John on 
his farm till the end of July, 1804, when he went to Jefferson College at Cannons- 
burg, Pa., to pursue studies for the ministry in the Reformed Presbyterian 
Church. He had joined the Established Church in Dalmellington, where his 
mother belonged and where he was baptized. His brother John, and his 
family, were members of the Associate Reformed Church, but James deter- 
mined to unite with the Reformed Presbyterians, chiefly because of their con- 
sistent opposition to slavery and their insistence on a Christian administration 
of government. 

He graduated from college as an honor man in 1809 ; studied medicine 
with Dr. Rush and received a medical dij^loma from him ; studied theology at 
the same time under Dr. Samuel B. Wylie, president of the University of 
Pennsylvania, in the city of Philadelphia, and was licensed to preach the gos- 
pel on April 4, 1811. He was ordained and installed pastor of the Goldenham 
Reformed Presbyterian Congregation, in Orange Co., N. J., June 10, 1812. 
After a five years' jDastorate here, he settled in Ryegate, Vt., where he con-

tinned from the fall of 1817 till 1830 ; then was pastor in New Alexandria, Pa., 
from 1839 to 1848, and in Bethel, HI., from 1848 till 1855, when on account of 
the infirmities of ai^e he resii^ned his charge and retired from active pastoral 
work, yet continued to preach and lecture as he had ()i)pi)rlunity, and preaciied 
the day before he died in Birmingham, Mich., when visiting his son James. 

During his collegiate and theological studies he supported himself by teach- 
ing. He was for several years principal of Greensburg Academy, in West- 
moreland, Pa., and afterwards taught a Jewish school in Piiiladelphia. He 
also served as Latin tutor in the University of Pennsylvania. The degree of 
D.I), was conferred upon him by Muskingum College in 1848. 

He published a volume on ''Infant Baptism," a narrative of the "Seces- 
sion Controversy," and a " X'iew of Christian Principles and Practices," besides 
several sermons. 

To the close of his life he was an earnest missionary, ardent Abolitionist, 
and consistent teetotaler. Wherever he went he preached Christ, liberty, and 
temperance. He organized anti-slavery and temperance societies in Vermont 
as earlv as 1820, and was often mobbed in his lecture tours. 

He was a man of stalwart frame, being six feet in height, and weighed from 
225 to 250 pounds. A fine classical scholar and a popular preacher, he had 
great infiuence in the communities where he labored and in his denomination. 
He was chairman of the Board of Superintendents of the R. P. Theological 
Seminary in Allegheny, Pa., from 1842 to 1850. 

On ^iay 15, iS2o,lie married Mary Trumbull, daughter of Robert and Lucy 
(Babcock) Trumbull,* at the home of the bride's parents in East Craftsbury, 
Vt. These had six children, of whom presently. Mrs. Mary, born in July 
1790, died at New Alexandria, Pa., May 20, 1856. Dr. Milligan died at Bir- 
mingham, Mich., Jan. 2, 1862. They were buried in the cemetery at New 
Alexandria, Pa.

Jan. 4, 1886. 

He was of gigantic build, being 6 feet in his stockings ; straight as an 
arrow ; of unusual cool and equable disposition ; a strict Covenanter ; and 
who, for 72 years, was never absent from the Communion Service, nor from 
the spring and fall elections ; Whig and Republican in his politics. He was 
athletic and recognized as the chieftain in all the wrestling bouts in the com- 
munity. His voice was like thunder and would reverberate from his home 
along the Big Sewickley from hill to hill. And such occasions as calling his 
hogs, the people knew of his whereabouts. It was not unusual for him to 
walk to Pittsburg and back in a day — a distance of 60 miles round trip. He 
was an expert with the rifle, and after 80 years of age would go out squirrel 
hunting, invariably coming home with a clever number, all shot through the 
head. 

When 8 years of age he did his first errand, which was to accompany a 
party who was moving to Cochranton, Crawford Co., a distance of more than 
150 miles, riding a horse which Squire John saw fit to present to his daughter, 
Jane Nelson, and carrying on the horse a pair of geese in a long sack which 
was perforated to allow their heads to extend out into the world around. 
He made the trip successfully, and the goose industry began to flourish in 
Cochranton. He returned in the fall to his home, and when the brick-mak- 
ing industry began at the old homestead, he off-bore all the bricks that were 
made to build the house. 

After his marriage they went to housekeeping in West Newton. He being 
a carpenter and cabinet maker and on account of his superior workmanship 
soon became the favorite coffin maker, and as long as it was the custom to 
have coffins made to order, he controlled that trade in the vicinity. He built 
himself a frame house and barn, both of which are still standing, on a tract of 
land which Squire John had purchased from the Sutzenheiser heirs which 
adjoined the original tract. The house and barn were built on a tract of land 
1 10 acres in extent. Eleven children. See 4th generation. 

10. Ann Milligan^ (1), seventh daughter of John^ (2), b. Oct. 31, 1795; was 
m. to William Hutchinson.

He graduated from the Western University of Pa. in June, 1848 ; entered 
the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Cincinnati, O., in October 
of the same year, and was licensed to preach Apr. 16, 1852. During his sem-

matics. Soon after, being licensed, he settled as co-pastor of the Miami Con- 
gregation with Dr. J. B. Johnston, and was ordained May 12, 1853. Here he 
remained teaching and preaching until the spring of 1856, when, finding his 
double duties too onerous, he resigned his place in the college and congrega- 
tion, and accepted a call to the First Congregation, New York City, which he 
retained as pastor for thirty -four years. During this period he occupied im- 
portant positions in the Reformed Presbyterian Church. In 1874 he became 
editor of Our Baimer, a monthly organ of the church, and conducted it for

union, on May 3, 1892, he asked his presbytery to release him from his pas- 
toral charge and grant him a certificate of dismissal ; this was done, and a 
testimonial expressing appreciation of his character and services was spread 
upon the minutes. On May 16, 1892, he was, on this certificate, received into 
the United Presbyterian Church. On Nov. i, 1892, he opened a mission ser- 
vice in a private house in the upper part of New York City, on Washington

is 5 feet 8 inches in height, and his usual weight is 150 pounds. 

In his earlv manhood, he learned the trade of millwright, and assisted in

by being struck on the head with a flying limb from a tree that had been 
lodged, which injury incapacitated him from the active work of his calling.

Later, about 1850, he resumed the life of a farmer. He was very con- 
servative in his methods of business, and in his daily life a peaceable and law- 
abiding citizen ; a Republican in principle, and always took an active interest

Charles Milliken' (1), whose parciu^" names arc ik-I known, lainc liuni ihc 
Province of C'onnaught, Ireland, with a maiden sister named Jknnik, to \'ir- 
ginia about the middle of the 17th century and settled near the present town 
of Stanford. He married Ann Harbison, and before the breaking out of 
the Revolution removed to Orange or Chatham County, North Carolina. 
Tradition is again at fault. It has been assumed for many years by the recog- 
nized authority on the history of this family that it was one Robert Milliken 
who came from Ireland to Virginia, but it has been clearly proven by docu- 
ments found in the archives of Orange and Chatham Counties in North Caro- 
lina that no such person left his " footprints on the sands of time '' in that 
state. It was Charles Milliken who was progenitor of this family, as a perusal 
of the subjoined documents w ill show. 

Charles Milliken's Indenture. 

This indenture made the fifth day of October in the year of our Lord One 
Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-nine, between James George and Judith 
George of the County of Orange and Province of North Carolina of the one 
part, and Charles ^filliken Planter of this part — witnesseth that the said 
James George and Judith George, for and in Consideration of the sum of fifty

John Stewart, Joseph Fooshee. 

Chatham County, Aug. 8, 1772. 

The foregoing instrument shows that this Charles Milliken — ^lilligan in 
this instance was an error in spelling by the person who formulated the deed — 
had purchased his land as early as 1769 and had cleared his plantation and 
established his residence there, but did not get his title until 1772, three years 
afterwards. This plantation was evidently in Orange County at the time of 
his settlement, but in Chatham County through some changes of boundary, 
when his deed was recorded. 

Here Charles Milliken established his home, became a w^ealthy planter 
and slaveholder ; here he had born to him five sons and a daughter, and here 
he and his good wife went down to death. Four of the sons raised families in 
Orange and Chatham Counties, but their descendants mostly removed to Ken- 
tucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Texas, and became the progenitors of a 
numerous posterity noted for their intelligence, force of character and moral 
worth. Indeed, there are but few families that can produce record of so many 
members who have been such successful pioneers and state-builders, and as 
fully represented by three or four generations of conservative solid business 
men and scholars as have cast a halo around this family name. Full of energy 
and industry, far-seeing and prompt to seize upon opportunities, they have been 
leading spirits in the communities where they domiciled. In the learned pro- 
fessions their name was conspicuous. 

The compiler has found some evidences of relationship between this and 
other branches of the family early settled in North Carolina where they asso- 
ciated as neighbors. Much that would be desirable concerning the family 
history must be left under shadowy obscurity of vague tradition and the uncer- 
tainty of enfeebled memories. 

The sons of Charles Milliken were named, Robert, James, George, diaries, 
and Qiiintin.

CHILDREN OF CHARLES AND ANN HARBISON. 

1. Robert Milliken^ (1), eldest son of Charles^ (1). was b. in Virginia as early 
as 1760. and removed with his parents to Orange Co., N. C, before the Revo- 
lution. He is supposed to have lived on the homestead. His will, made Sept. 
29, 1813. and probated at the November term of court that year, shows us 
about the time of his death. To his wife, whose name was Jane, he gave one- 
half of his plantation and one-third of his w/7/ during her life; to his son /<?////, 
50 acres of land; to his son Charles, 5 shillings; to his 'iow Jesse, 100 dollars; 
to his son Robert, one-half of his plantation and half of his mill after the death 
of his mother ; to his son William, one-half of the plantation and half of the 
mill after the mother's death. His wife, Jane Milliken, and sons Robert and 
William, were appointed e.xecutors. Witnesses were Joel Strong and William 
Moore. No description of his lands. The names of the sons — Robert, John, 
Charles, Jesse and William — correspond with the family tradition, but the 
daughter is not mentioned in the will and probably predeceased her father. 
See 3d generation. 

2. James Milliken- (1). second son of Charles^ (1), probably b. in Virginia, 
settled in Orange Co., N. C, where he raised his family. He was a planter 
and slaveholder. ^Llde his will Sept. 9, 1805. and it was probated at the 



47G MILLIKENS OF ORANGE CO., NO. CAROLINA. 

February term of court following. His death occurred between the two dates. 
His wife Rachel and son Jesse named as executors. He gave his eldest son, 
James, loo acres of land; to wife 500 acres of land during widowhood or life; 
to his son E/ias 250 acres, and to his son George 250 acres. Witnesses of 
will, William Moore and William Roberts. No description of the estate. His 
wife's full maiden name was Rachel Kelly. There were several daughters 
not mentioned in the will. See 3d generation. 

3. Charles Milliken- (2), son of Charles^ (1), b. in Virginia, was brought up 
in Orange or Chatham Co., N. C. But little has been learned concerning this 
man. One tradition says he died in Jackson Co., Mo. He was interested in 
Kentucky when the tide of migration to that country began to rise, as proved 
by the public records. On April 25th, 181 1, there was surveyed for Charles 
Milliken assignee of Jesse Morrow, the assignee of L. H. Cartright, assignee 
of Justice Cartright, assignee of James Gallispie, 100 acres of land on the 
waters of Red River, by virtue of an entry on part of a Livingstone County 
Court Certificate No. 12 10 (giving plat and boundary). Also surveyed for 
Charles Milliken, assignee of Presley N. O'Bannon, 40 acres of land on the 
waters of Red River in Logan Co., Ky., of date July 22, 1818, on part of a 
Kentucky Land Oflfice warrant, No. 24-32, granted to said O'Bannon for 
50 acres. Also 10 acres surveyed to Charles Milliken, assignee of Presley 
O'Bannon, July 28, 1818, on waters of Red River, same warrant first mentioned. 
As evidence that none of these lands' were patented to Charles Milliken is the 
fact that no lands were conveyed by him, and it is probable that the lands 
were patented to George Milliken, his brother, who we know settled on 
Red River in Logan Co., Ky. The late Erastus Milliken of Pleasant Point, 
Tex., said Charles Milliken died in Missouri, and left issue, but we have not 
found any trace of such. 

4. George Milliken- (1), son of Charles^ (1), b. in Virginia, was carried by his 
parents to Orange Co., N. C, when young ; m. Agness West,* who was b. 
May 26, 1762, in Louisa Co., Va., and is said to have settled first in Buncombe 
Co., N. C. He removed to Guilford Co., near Guilford C. H., N. C, where 
he remained until their removal to Logan Co., Ky., in 1804 o^ 1805. The 
records show that he acquired by purchase from Jesse McComb in 1809, one 
hundred seventy-three acres of land on Red River. He made his will in Logan 
Co., Ky., Dec. i, 1812, which was probated May 17, 1813. He devised for 
life unto his wife Agness his plantation to be transmitted after her death to 
his son George Milliken, Jr. That his estate comprised more land than was 

* The West Family. The grandmother of Agness was an English lady belonging to a 
family of wealth and rank. Here is a bit of romance. She had a lover who was objection- 
able to her father because below her in family connections, or was not born with the " golden 
spoon " in his mouth. He was sent into the army or carried off by a pressgang and seen no 
more. She wrote many letters trying to find him, and, finally, ran away and came to New 
York in her search. Her money failing, she found employment in a hotel. A voung mer- 
chant from Virginia saw her, admired her refined appearance, made love to her, and, learning 
her history, married her and took her to his Y'irginian home. After the death of her father 
she got her portion of the estate. 

Agness West had a brother Leonard. Their parents died in Virginia when they were 
small children, and they were brought up by an aunt. Both came to Kentucky. Leonard 
West married, settled in Simpson County, and raised a largf family. The sons weie Amos, 
Fichihiif 'ciwl yaiiies. There were five daughters, William Milliken's wife being one of them. 
James Milliken married another. Dr. Jesse Milliken's wife was also maiden-named West. 



MILLIKENS OF DR.WGE CO., AV. CAKOL/AA. 177 

purchased of McCoinb in 1809, is jjiovcd hy the fact thai liis son George 
conveyed to John Boyd by sale in 1S25, two hundred and twelve acres on 
Red River, reciting in the deed that this was the same tract devised to him by 
his father, deceased, and that the survey to the same was made in the name 
of Goodnight, assignee of Rollins. His sons bought and sold several tracts 
of land on Red River. 

William Crewdson, Ksq., oi Auburn, Ry., who spent much of his youth in 
the home of his grandmother, Agness (West) Milliken, informed the compiler 
of this volume that she often told him that she was born in Virginia near the 
North Carolina line ; that she was married w^hen onlv sixteen vears of aire ; 
that she first settled in Buncombe Co., N. C, and afterwards removed to Guil- 
ford Co., N. C. Her eldest child, fames, was born only eighteen months 
before the surrender of Cornwallis at Vorktown. She heard the guns of the 
battle at Guilford Court House, and that night' her house was filled with 
wounded soldiers for her to care for. 

Their home, after their removal to Kentucky, was near Adairville in 
Logan Co. It was an exxellent plantation comprising some of the richest 
lands in the state. Their hrst house was of logs, but it was afterwards 
weather-boarded. r^Iany slaves were kept and well provided for. After the 
plantation" was sold, Mrs. Milliken went to Henry Co., Tenn., and spent her 
last days with her son Amos. She d. May 6, 1848, aged 86 years. She was 
the owner of a large, old-fashioned Bible which she prized highly and from 
which she read much; this contained the family record and is still preserved 
by her descendants. There were twelve children. See 3d generation. 
5. Quintin Milliken^ (1), son of Charles* (1), settled on a plantation in 
Chatham Co., X. C, where he was m. and raised his family. His father 
made his will May 12, 1785, and bequeathed to Quintin the lands on wdiich 
he then lived, and a young horse named " Snip." This land was to remain 
undivided and an equal share held by son " Charlie." Quintin !Milliken made 
his will July 3, 1816, and as his wife was not mentioned, she was probably 
deceased. He d. Aug. 10, 1816. He and his wife were buried on the plan- 
tation near the house, and their graves, only marked by rude, un inscribed 
stones, are now surrounded by a growth of large trees. An old Bible con- 
taining the family record was destroyed many years ago by fire. His children 
were named Jesse, Charles, Spencer, Sarah, Mahala and Jenny. See 3d 
generation. 

5. Jenny Milliken- (1), only daughter of Charles* (1), b. in Virginia, was m. 
to Stew.\rt. Her father in his will (which see) gave her " twelve pounds 
current money." She had two (perhaps more) children named as follows : 

I. Quintin Stewart, to whom his grandfather, in his will. May 12, 
1785, gave "a negro girl named Evie.'^ 

n. Rachel Stewart, to whom her grandfather, in his will, May 12, 
1785, gave " a cow and calf."

The Milliken Homestead. 

There were 170 acres in the tract of land owned by Quintin Milliken, 
originally, but he increased his territory until he owned 750 acres. He built 
his log-house near a spring about one-fourth of a mile from the present resi- 
dence of his grandson on the same plantation. The old stable was on a 
small stream that issued from the spring. 

After the death of Quintin his son Jesse built anew house nearer the public 
road ; this was destroyed by fire. Another house was erected where the present 
garden is cultivated, and in excavating for the foundation of an arbor, John R. 
Milliken, the present proprietor, found the old cellar. This third plantation 
hf)use was built of hewed logs but afterwards weather-boarded and enlarged. 
The present proprietor has added a second story, and again enlarged the 



MILLIKENS OF ORANGE CO., NO. CAROL/ A' A. 47 'J 

house upon the ground, and added to its architectural appearance by two 
piazzas. A cliininey at each end is provided witli fireplaces above and below 
stairs. The old kitchen was detaciied and some distance from the dwelling, 
as was customary on all plantations during slave days, and the food cooked 
there was carried to the dining-room by the servants. 'I'his building and the 
old smoke-house still remain. The kitchen is built of hewed timber, is ei<:hteen 
by twenty feet on the ground, and has a chimney at one end in which there 
is a fireplace eight feet wide and five feet in height. The building is now 
used for a wash-house. The barns and stables were built a considerable 
distance from the house for fear of fire. 

There are two remarkable trees in front of the mansion. One, a white oak, 
is twenty-one feet in circumference, and has branches that extend seventy feet 
at right angles from its trunk. The other, a walnut, has two hearts. A negro 
named '' Ben" planted this. He found two small, tender saplings and twisted 
them spirally ; they grew, united their trunks, and to-day the large, handsome 
tree shows no indication of its original forms. 

The buildings are beautifully situated on the public road, thirty-five miles 
from Raleigh, the state capital, and from Pittsboro, the county seat, three 
miles. 

Jesse Milliken held forty slaves, the most of them purchased, or raised on 
his plantation. They occupied seven cabins near the dwelling ; these were 
small, cheaply built log-houses, with large fireplaces, and very warm and 
cosey. 

The following documents speak for themselves, and may be of interest to 
readers in the North who were born since the emancipation of the slaves.

CHILDREN OF ROBERT AND JANE MILLIKEN. 

1. John Milliken^ (1), eldest son of Robert- (2), b. in Orange Co., N. C, was 
mentioned in his father's will as the legatee of fifty acres of land. He studied 
survej'ing when a young man, and going to Kentucky with others of the family 
found emplo}-ment under the State government, and was rewarded by a grant 
of land in Louisiana, where he cleared a large and valuable plantation, which 
was called '' Milliken's Bend," it being on a loop of the Mississippi River. 
He owned many slaves, and acquired wealth. This locality became widely 
known during the Civil War in consequence of a battle fought there, and is 
now historic. The stately Milliken mansion was burned down and many 
valuable family documents destroyed. John Milliken m. the widow of Dr. 
Elliott, nee Devereux, by whom he had one daughter, named Mary -Jane, who 
became the wife of Dr. I. P. Parker, about the year 1828, and she had two 
sons, who are now the representatives of this Milliken family. INIr. Milliken 
was a man of great determination and singleness of purpose ; calculating, 
sagacious, energetic and successful in his agricultural and commercial ven- 
tures. The date of his death has not been found, the Parkers having 
declined to communicate information. 

2. Dr. Jesse Milliken^ (1), second son of Robert- (2), b. in Orange Co., N. C, 
and raised his family there. His wife was Annie West, a daughter of Wil- 
liam West, of an old Virginian family. About the year 181 7 he removed to 
Calloway Co., Ky., and in 1825 purchased a farm in Simpson Co., where he 
established a permanent home. He was for many years a well-known and 
popular practising physician in Calloway and Simpson Counties, often 
riding twenty and thirty miles on horseback, carrying his medicines in saddle- 
bags, to visit his patients, and absent from home days and nights. He was a 
typical doctor of the old school, who was invested with all the pluck so vividly 
represented by Ian Maclaren in William MacClure the old Scottish practi- 
tioner. Dr. ^lilliken was a man of strong convictions, and was very out- 
spoken in his intercourse with his fellow-men. He d. at his home in Simpson 
Co., Ky., in 1834, and his widow d. in 1848. They were interred on the farm. 
For children's names, see 4th generation. 

3. William Milliken^ (1), third son of Robert^ (2), b. in Orange Co., N. C, 
July 4, 1792 ; m. Nancy Ramsey, who was b. in Chatham Co., N. C, Nov. 
14, 1795. ^^ settled in Paducah, Ky., about 1817, where he owned arid 
carried on a plantation. He w-as killed by a vicious horse when ploughing — 
date unknown — and left a large family for his wife, who was a woman of 
great energ}', prudence, and good judgment, to care for; and she acquitted 
herself of her responsibility with true heroism and faithfulness. She was tall, 
with black hair and eyes, and stamped many mental and physical character- 
istics upon her children. She d. Aug. 10, 1877. There were nine children. 
See 4th generation. 

4. Charles Milliken'' (2), fourth son of Robert^ (2), b. in Orange Co., N. C, 
was mentioned in his father's will and received only five shillings. Find no 
record of this man in land documents. Hon. Charles W. Milliken, of Frank- 
lin, Ky., says his uncle of this name d. in Jackson Co., Mo., but diligent 
search and newspaper inquiry have been fruitless of results. There are

Millikens in and about Kansas City, Mo., who may be his descendants. 
They have not replied to in(|iiiries addressed to thcni. One Charles Milliken 
is a passenger conductor. 

5. Robert Milliken^ (2), fifth son of Robert^ (2), b. in Orange Co., N. C, 
was mentioned in his father's will of date Sept. 29. 1S13, in which he was given 
one-half of the plantation and one-half of the mill after his mother's decease. 
He m.. May 5. 1809, Christi.\n Turner. Was one of the executors of his 
father's will. Some members of this family believe that this man remained on 
the homestead and d. issueless. 

6. Harbison Milliken^ (1), youngest son of Robert- (2), b. in ( )range Co., \. C, 
was a legatee under his father's will to one hundred dollars to be paid by his 
brother Robert. No other information. 

CHILDREN OF GEORGE AND AGNES "W^ST. 

1. James Milliken'' (2), eldest son of George^ (1), b. in 1779, eighteen 
months before the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. He m. Ki.sik 
West, daughter of William West, and sister of Ann West, wife of Dr. Jesse 
Milliken, in 1805, about the time of the removal of the family to Kentucky. 
He settled about five miles west of Franklin, in Simpson Co. The house on 
his plantation was built of timber, but afterwards weather-boarded and better 
finished; it was large and roomy, and built more for comfort and convenience 
than for any external beauty. The mansion was surrounded by a spacious 
lawn, whereon were groves of fine old forest trees. Some locust trees had 
been planted near the dwelling because of their flowers and fragrance. This 
plantation was situated on the "Springfield road " between Franklin. Ky., and 
the Tennessee state line. The land was nearly level and very productive. 
The slave quarters were nearly one hundred yards back of the mansion. 

Mr. Milliken is described as a small man with very kind and gentle man- 
ners, who was loved and venerated by all of his neighbors. He was a very 
devout Christian man, but not the kind "so straight they leaned backward." 
He had a kind word and genuine smile and handshake for all. Was espe- 
cially fond of children, and his great kindliness is remembered by his de- 
scendants. He d. Mar. 6, 1863, aged 84. 

Mrs. Milliken was a tall, dignified old lady with strongly marked face; a 
woman of great firmness of character with a high sense of right and wrong, 
but was kind and charitable to her neighbors. She was the true pioneer wife, 
and mother of the class that made the history of a state. There were four 
children that lived to maturity, of whom with fourth generation. 

2. William Milliken^ (2), second son of George- (1), b. in Orange or Guilford 
Co., N. C, in Apr., 1785 ; m. Aug. 10, 1808, Poixv West, his first cousin, and 
settled in the southern part of Simpson Co., Ky.. on Spring Creek and near 
the Sulphur Springs meeting-house, say eight miles from Franklin. Ky. His 
plantation consisted of about 500 acres, and was one of the best in Southern 
Kentucky. His mansion was of brick, large and imposing. He owned about 
25 slaves. Mr. Milliken was six feet two inches in height, large, rawboned, 
and of great muscular strength. He was a leading citizen in Simpson County, 
and his character above reproach. His companion was of dark complexion. 
She was b. Dec. 28, 1791, and d. Mar. 6, 185 1. He d. on the farm where he 
first settled, Dec. 7, 1847, aged 62 years and 9 months. Eleven children, of 
whom with fourth generation. 



482 M/LL/KENS OF ORANGE CO., NO. CAROLINA. 

3. Leonard Hugh Milliken^ (1), third son of George- (1), b. near Guilford Court 
House, Guilford Co., N.C., about 1793, settled in Callo\vayCo.,Ky.,in 1830. He 
Avas a volunteer under Gen. Andrew Jackson at the battle of New Orleans. His 
plantation in Kentucky was disposed of in 1836, and with his family he removed 
to an exposed frontier in Texas. Diligent research by correspondence, advertising 
in newspapers, and examination of the public records, has failed to disclose 
the dwelling-place of the descendants of this Hugh Milliken. He evidently 
discarded his first name, as it does not appear on record in any entry 
found. The following was procured from the Land Commissioner at 
Austin, Tex. 

" There was an unconditional headright certificate issued to Hugh Millikin 
for 640 acres of land by the Board of Land Commissioners of Sabine Co., 
Tex., in 1841 by virtue of his conditional certificate issued by the same board 
in 1838, and the same located in two surveys in Sabine County, but neither 
have been patented account of errors in field notes. There are also transfers 
on file of said certificate from Henry Millikin to Charles Peck, executed in 
Sabine County in 1840, and from Charles Peck to Will Hinckley, also executed 
in Sabine County in 1841. The title to said land has therefore passed from 
Hugh Millikin. 

" An unconditional certificate was also issued to Hugh Millikin by the Board 
of Land Commissioners of Houston County for 1280 acres of land in 1848, 
by virtue of his conditional issued by the Board of Red River County in 1838, 
and located in Rusk County, and was patented to Hugh Millikin, Oct. 19, 
1849, and there are no transfers of this certificate on file in this office, and as 
far as disclosed by the records here still remains in Hugh Millikin ; and to 
ascertain if the land has been conveyed since the patent issued, you will have 
to consult the records of Rusk Co., at Henderson, Texas, or if you will com- 
municate with Hon. R. M. Love, Comptroller at this place, he would doubt- 
less advise you by whom the taxes on said land are paid, and in that way you 
might trace the owner or claimant. There were evidently two persons by the 
name of Hugh Millikin, the one receiving the 1280 acres being a married man, 
or head of a family, and the other a single man, as two headright certificates 
could not have been issued to the same person. Whether you can connect 
this man with Leonard Hugh Millikin, will be a matter to be determined out- 
side of this department. I w^ould suggest also that you examine the records 
of Sabine, Red River, and Houston Counties for information that might lead to 
further identification of said parties." 

At Henderson, Tex., the following record of transfer was found : 

" From the state of Texas to Hugh Milliken, 1 280 acres of land ; from Hugh 
Milliken and wife to A. C. Whately, 1280 acres of land; from A. C. Whately 
to Henry A. Reynolds, 1280 acres of land; and from Henry A. Reynolds to 
B. C. Oberthier, 1280 acres of land." 

Hugh Milliken was married and had a large family, some of his children 
grown to maturity before his removal to Texas, but the maiden name of his 
wife is not remembered. His relatives in Kentucky say that he died about 
two years after his settlement in Texas. They also report that his sons were 
men of prominence. There was another Hugh Milliken (or Millican) whose 
name appears in the Texas archives, and the two were often confounded. 
All that is known of this man, just mentioned, will be found in another section 
of this book.

The foUowinj:; \ery unsatisfactory and meagre record is all we could find 
relating' to the children t)f Hu^di Milliken. 

1. Mahai.a Mii.LiKKN. his dau^diter, was m. to Samuel Wrighi-, and lived 
in Texas. I ki husband was killed and his body burned in his house 
by Indians; but she esca]K'd throui^di a back window, and carryinjj her 
babe made her way through the wilderness twenty miles to her father's 
home. V>. C. Oberthier, Esq., of Henderson, Tex., says Mahalay's 
daughter was m. to McDonald, and was an aunt to his wife. 
II. ('iK.oKGK Mil. LI KEN, SOU of Hugh, b. in Kentucky, removed with the 

famil)- to Texas. 
HI. Henry Milliken, son of Hugh, b. in Kentucky, went to Texas, and 
transferred his father's land certificate to Charles Peck in 1S40. 

4. Amos Milllken^ (1), fourth son of George- (1), was b. near Guilford Court 
House, X. C. Mar. 10, 1795. and was nine years of age when his parents 
moved to Simpson Co., Ky. He m. Elizabeth Townsend (b. Mar. 11, 
1796: d. Jan. 17, 1875) in Logan Co., Ky., July 27, 1815, and settled on 
lands bequeathed by his father in his will of date 181 2. He sold out and 
removed to Henry Co., Tenn., in 1818. His new land — a tract consisting 
of 200 acres — was on the head waters of the north fork of the Obion River, 
some seven miles north of Paris. At this time there were but few white 
families livin<r in that re£:ion. Some old, deserted wiijwams remained to 
mark the homes and hunting-ground of the red man. His land cost him 12^ 
cents per acre. While clearing his farm, the family subsisted largely upon 
the game and fish which abounded in the forest and streams. Venison and 
wild turkeys could be had at any time when wanted. Black bears carried ofif 
the pigs, and Amos brought them down with his rifle and supplied his table 
from their flesh. The virgin soil produced a variety of berries, and the family 
often feasted on strawberries and wild honey. Some panthers and wolves 
could be heard by night in the surrounding forests. 

The Milliken home was typical of the frontier, and nearly everything for 
family use was produced on the faruL Wool and cotton were raised and 
made into cloth for family wear. Hides were tanned and worked into har- 
ness and footwear. Much ingenuity and skill was exhibited by the members 
of the household in the manufacture of the home-made wares. By industry, 
frugality, and judicious management, Mr. JNIilliken became a prosperous 
farmer. He was self-reliant and capable of turning his hand to almost any 
mechanical work. He introduced and operated the first threshing mill in that 
country. Previously all grain was beaten out with the flail. His threshing 
machine was described as of "Groundhog " style and crudely constructed, but it 
was practical, and the precursor of something better. He also built a saw- 
mill on the stream running by the plantation which had one of the first circu- 
lar saws ever used in Henry County. 

Mr. Milliken d. Nov. 21, 1856, near Spring Hill, Henry Co., Tenn., and 
his widow lived with her son George for nearly twenty years, dying in 1875. 
She was possessed of a remarkable memory, and in advanced life entertained 
her grandchildren with stories of early life in Kentucky, and homemaking in 
Tennessee. There were many caves and subterranean streams in Simpson 
County. At one time the pet goose fell into the well and disappeared. It 
was given up for lost, but a few hours later emerged from a " sink hole "' at 
the back of the farm and came waddling home. Handkerchiefs and other

light articles dropped into another well would be found in a large spring 
nearly a mile away. She told of the excitement that prevailed and how 
worried the inhabitants were about their early Kentucky home, when houses 
were violently shaken and crockery rattled on the dresser ; when chimneys 
cracked and fell by the trembling of the earth : and with the slow mediums of com- 
munication it was a long time before they heard that the cause of the phe- 
nomena was the sinking of a considerable tract in Obion Co., Tenn., by which 
Reelfoot Lake was formed. 

The country where the Milliken family settled was not only the hunting- 
ground of Indians, but once the home of the mound builders. There were 
two circular elevations on the plantation extending to twenty-five feet in height 
above the level of the adjacent land. Upon the top of one mound was a 
level plateau of sufficient area for a dwelling and small yard occupied by a 
white family. From near the base of the larger mound are two deep ditches 
or artificial ravines leading to the Little Obion nearby. Some interesting 
pieces of ancient pottery and flint implements were found in the Milliken fields, 
and one article was sold to an Eastern museum for a good sum. Life on the 
plantation was peaceful and pleasant until the beginning of the Civil War. 
The home was well supplied with the popular magazines and current news- 
papers. Children were entertained by ghost stories told by the old black 
" mammy " in the slave quarters, while their elders beguiled the evening hours 
around the hearthstone with tales and legends of "ye olden time '" in Carolina 
and Kentucky. Long before Amos Milliken's death, the forests had been 
hewed down, and the country he found a wilderness was populous and flour- 
ishing. Churches and schools had been built, manufactures introduced, mer- 
chandising established, and the advantages of culture and wealth were enjoyed 
by many. 

The ]Millikens were in favor of maintaining the solidarity of the LTnion, 
but when by act of the Legislature Tennessee seceded, they went with the 
majority and fought with valor in the Confederate army. 

Amos and Elizabeth Milliken had two sons, of whom with fourth genera- 
tion. 

5. George Milliken^ (2), youngest son of George- (1), was b. in Logan Co., 
Ky. He went to Henry Co., Tenn., when a young man and m. Sarah 
Martin. Here he erected a tanyard and established himself in business. 
He removed to Wadesboro, Calloway Co., Ky., in 1833-4, and established the 
tanning business there. This was then the county seat and gave promise of 
growth, but another town was chosen and Wadesboro decayed. He sold out 
and in 1839 migrated with his family to Red River Co., Tex. He received a 
" headright " grant of land comprising 1280 acres; the quantity offered to 
induce settlement. Texas was then a Republic. The journey of 600 miles 
was made with horses and required a moiith. They went via Memphis, 
Tenn., Little Rock, Ark., and the Indian Territory, camping on the road. 
Supplies and household goods were carried. They were constantly in danger 
from Indians and wild animals but reached their destination in safety. Mr. 
Milliken did not long hold his headright-grant, but sold out and built a tan- 
yard on Pecan Bayou, five miles north of Clarksburg, the county seat, where 
he owned 500 acres of land. 

The family submitted to the deprivations and hardships incident to pioneer 
life in a new country. They lived in a log cabin. Family supplies were

mostly procured by hunting. The woods and prairies then abounded with 
large game such as bufTaloes and deers. Wild honey was plentiful. Corn 
was ground in handmills or pounded into hominy ; sometimes parched. The 
men wore buckskin breeches and coonskin caps. \\'c)men dressed correspond- 
ingly plain. Luxuries were unknown. 

Mr. Milliken d. in 1843. and was buried in the family graveyard of a 
neighboring cotton planter named George IJagby. Mis family, consisting of 
the widow and five children, returned to their relatives in Henry Co., Tenn.

Ky., Aug. 15, 1827, and was carried by his parents to Simpson Co. before he 
was ten years of age. His father having died when he was but a lad, and 
being left motherless when away at school, the family was broken up and the 
three youngest children were homeless. When eighteen he persuaded his 
mother to let him go to Franklin, Ky., where he remained in school one year. 
He then entered Wirt Academy, a rural institution in Sumner Co., Tenn'., and 
was graduated after a three years' course. He returned to Franklin and studied 
law with Beverly L. Clark, and has practised his profession down to date. 
He m. Sally Rayster, Feb. 11, 1852, and she is still living, in perfect 
health. 

He was County Attorney without soliciting the ofifice several years up to 
1862, when by act of the Legislature the courts were suspended, and he re- 
signed. In 1867 he was elected Commonwealth Attorney to represent the 
State's interest in the Fourth Judicial District. This election was to till out 
an unexpired term of one year, and in 1868 he was elected for a full term of 
six years to the same office. He resigned in 1872, to become a candidate for 
Congress and was elected. In 1874 he was again elected and served in the 
43d and 44th Congresses. He refused to be a candidate in 1876, and has 
never since sought for any political preferment. In a communication written 
in the winter of 1902, Mr. Milliken said: "Though nearly 75 years of age I 
can run as fast for a short distance and jump as far as at any time in my life. 
My voice is strong and clear, and I do a practice in my profession equal to 
any man at our bar." 

Of this "grand old man " of Franklin, Ky., a citizen writes, " He does not 
look a day older than he did twenty-five years ago ; he is vigorous and active, 
and anything in appearance but an old man." 

He was well-informed respecting the early history of his family, and furnished 
much of the data concerning the first generations incorporated into this work. 

His acquaintance is wide, and he holds the high esteem of numerous fellow- 
citizens. A Presbyterian in his church relations, he believes there are sincere 
Christians in all denominations. He has one son, of whom with fifth gen- 
eration.

uated from medical institutions in Kentucky. He studied medicine at Cumber- 
land University, Tenn., and has engaged in the active practice of his profession 
in Franklin, Simpson Co., Ky., for many years. He represents the mental 
and physical characteristics of this branch of the family ; is a man of strong 
convictions, conservative and forceful. There are two children. See 4th

known as Judge Milliken, He was virtually a self-made man. At the begin- 
ning of the Civil War he joined the Confederacy and entered the army as major 
of a battalion. His family were residing at Mayfield, Ky., while he was in 
camp a few miles south of that town. He came to his home occasionally, and 
while on a visit was assassinated Nov. i8, 1861, by a political enemy. His 
widow d. at l'aduc;iii, Ky.. in jul\-, 1871. There were six children. See 5th 
generation. 

2. Sanuiel Ramsey Milliken^ (1), second son of William'' (1), b. in Paducah, 
McCracken Co., Ky., June 30, 1817 ; m. Miss M.\rv Horn; second, .\nnik 
Henrietta Campbell and lived for many years at his place of nativity. 
He w-as owner of three mail lines and steam packets on the Mississippi, 
Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. He removed to Texas in i860, stopping 
near Manstield, Kllis Co., now Johnson Co., but hnally settled at Thorp .Springs, 
in Hood Co., Tex. He carried numerous slaves with him. He d. June 28, 
1886. His eldest son wrote as follows : 

" My father was one of the most forceful characters I ever knew. He was 
not only honest and truthful himself, but thought it was his bounden duty to make 
others the same. This naturally made him many enemies. He despised and 
denounced shams on all occasions. He was a great money maker in his 
prime, but entirely too free-hearted with his friends and those who gained his 
confidence. He moved to Texas in i860 for his health, enlisted in the Con- 
federate service the next year. Was chosen Captain of his company, but 
refused to serve, as he claimed that he believed others would make better 
officers. He never offered for office, though he never resided in a county 
where he did not wield a powerful influence for good. To illustrate how he 
was respected for justice and honor, I shall narrate the statement made me 
some years ago, by Mr. Bledsoe, an able lawyer of Cleburne, Texas. My 
father did not speak to him. He had a case in the court of my father's 
county, and my father w^as on the jury, but in going to the jury box he re- 
marked to a juror that it was not worth his while to go up there, as his name 
would be scratched. Mr. Bledsoe overheard it, but to my father's surprise he 
was selected. Mr. Bledsoe said that his client was a stranger in the county, 
but had a just cause of action, while the other party was most influential, and 
had many friends ; that he wanted a controlling spirit on the jury, one who 
would do right regardless of the parties ; that he made his principal argument 
to my father, and the result was just as he expected, a verdict in his favor. 
One of the most laudatory, and yet truthful, obituaries I ever read, was that of my 
father, written by a gentleman whom he did not speak to for ten years previ- 
ous to his death. The traits of character which I have just mentioned, were 
so strongly marked, that all admired him for them. But it was in his home 
life, and by the constituents of that home, where he was really understood and 
loved. Stern to rule, but O how just ! He was a born disciplinaire. Often 
have I seen children visiting our home, obey him with pleasure, who ran 
rough shod over their own parents. 

By two wives he had six children named as follows : 
\. Edmonia ^Fillikkn'', b. in Paducah, Ky., was m. to Andrew J. Brown 
and lives in Dallas, Tex. She has written : " My grandmother's Bible 
is in my possession ; however, it is not the first record of my grand- 
father's family, and is very incomplete. I do not know what became 
of the first records. Grandmother had the care of me the first eight

years of my life, then we were separated for ten years, my father bring- 
ing me to Texas in i860. My father took me to visit grandmother 
afterwards, with the understanding that I should prevail on her to return 
with us to Texas, and we left Paducah, Ky., Sept. 8, 1870- Uncle 
Erastus Alilliken came in November of the same year. Grandmother 
and I were very devotedly attached to each other. I have her picture 
and likenesses of her five sons." ^Irs. Brown visited her uncle Erastus 
Milliken at Pleasant Point, Tex., interviewed him, and took notes for 
this work, but she says : " Our house was burned Mar. 11, 1894, and 
he died the 20th of April following. As I had too many other cares 
on my mind I dropped the whole thing." She did not reply to subse- 
quent inquiries.

Tex., in 1885. 

III. Robert Campbell Milliken^ b. in Johnson Co., Tex., Jan. 14, 1861, 
is a lawyer by profession, and was at one time engaged in legal prac- 
tice at Dallas, Tex., but is now in the life-insurance business, located 
at Birmingham, Ala., where he is serving as mayor. The most of the 
time during the last ten years, he has filled the position of Pacific Coast 
Supervisor and Southern Inspector for one of the eastern companies. 
He is truthful, frank, puts on no airs for politeness' sake, pays his debts, 
and claims what is justly due him.

Louisville, Ky., Mar. i, 1887. He received a certificate for being one 
among ten standing highest in the graduating class of eighty-six stu- 
dents. Of the two hospital appointments, he was made resident at 
Sts. Mary and Elizabeth Hospital, where he remained one year ; 
thence removed to N. Y. City in Mar., 1888. He was assistant physi- 
cian to the N. Y. City Asylum for the Insane ; house surgeon at the 
Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled for one year ; assistant sur- 
geon afterwards to the same hospital. He was chief of Dr. John A. 
Wyeth's clinic, and lecturer on surgery at the New York Polyclinic 
School and Hospital for three years. He was also editor '' La Revista 
Medico-Quirurgica," which was the Spanish organ of the Pan-American 
Medical Congress. He resided in New York for nine years and 
achieved considerable success. He has written many articles on surgi- 
cal subjects, and invented a hammock apparatus for applying the plaster 
of paris jacket in spinal diseases. He has remarkable mathematical 
knack, having finished calculus in his sixteenth year. He must know 
the reason of every thing he does.

Pleasant Point, in Johnson County, but died April 20th of that year. He did 
not leave any children. From a letter written by a neighbor I learned that his 
estate was sold by his widow in 1895, and that she had married again and 
gone West. He wrote me in 1894, that Charles Milliken died in Missouri, 
and that he had three sons, John, Quintin and Joseph, all of whom emigrated

He began running on a steamboat on the Mississippi River when only sixteen 
years of age and eventually became a pilot ; this profession he followed 
through life. At the breaking out of the Civil War he entered the Confederate 
service in the navy, and a price was set on his head, dead or alive. At the 
time he joined the navy he was living at Paducah ; then his family removed to 
St. Louis, 2kIo., where they remained until his death in 187 1. He was serving 
as pilot on a gunboat that was blown up on Lake Bourne, and the only one out 
of four whose life was saved. He floated for hours before he was picked up. 
Being a P'ree Mason he revealed signal of the order to those who captured 
him. and he was humanely treated. He then joined his family completely 
broken down in health, being so seriously scalded that he was blind for 
several months. He then took the oath of allegiance. At another time he was 
on a gunboat captured b)- the Federal navy, and jumped overboard and swam 
across the river while bullets were falling around him. He reached the 
shore, tramped twenty miles in his wet clothing, and went into a land battle 
without breaking his fast. He was a brave and fearless man in the hour of 
danger, but irentle and tender-hearted when at ease. He was about six feet 
two inches in stature, slender, and had dark hair and eyes. Mrs. Milliken 
was of medium height, and stout ; has gray eyes, black hair, and fair, fresh

middle-state planters, lived in ease and independence with but slight disposi- 
tion to accumulate property, because he had all he wanted. He was for many 
years a Justice of the Peace for Simpson Co., not because of profit, but for 
the reason that it gave him prestige and admitted him to official circles on 
many public occasions. His natural talents were of a superior order. Li

Franklin Co., Ala. He passed his boyhood on the homestead, having only 
such educational advantages as were afforded in country schools. After com- 
pleting an academic course in his native county, he attended the I'niversity 
at Nashville, Tenn., from which institution he was graduated with honors, 
being thoroughly conversant with the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin languages. 
Nurtured in a home of piety, he made a public profession of religion in early 
youth, was baptized and united with the Baptist Chvnch. 

The all-absorbing desire of his heart was to be fully prepared for his life- 
work — preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He continued to be a close 
student of his Bible, and throughout his entire life was a man of strong faith 
in God's promises. 

At the age of twenty he was ordained to the ministry, and for fifty years 
held up the banner of the cross, proclaiming the glad tidings of salvation to 
a perishing world. He began to preach at Athens, Ala., where he remained 
until his marriage. His next settlement was in La Grange, Tenn. About 
four years after his marriage he removed to Somerville, Tenn., where he fol- 
lowed his sacred calling and also engaged in teaching, being principal of a 
school in that town. 

In the year 1851 he moved with his family to Aberdeen, ]Miss., having 
received a call from the Baptist Church to become their pastor. He remained 
with this society about five years, and it was with reluctance that the tlock 
accepted his resignation. 

A call came from a church at Jackson, Miss., in 1857, and he was impelled 
to accept. A cordial welcome awaited him, and soon a strong bond of attach- 
ment existed between pastor and flock. While preaching in that city an 
extensive revival prevailed which resulted in a rich harvest of souls. He con- 
ducted services twice daily for nearly six weeks, and seemed to be especially 
endowed with power from on High. He remained at Jackson until the break- 
ing out of the war between the North and South, when he returned to Ten- 
nessee and enlisted as Chaplain to the Thirteenth Tennessee Volunteers, com- 
manded by Col. Andrew Jackson Vaughan. He remained with the army, 
faithful to his vocation, often ministering to the wounded and dying on the 
battlefield. At the close of the war he returned to his home in La Cirange. 
and resumed the work of teaching, and preaching on the Sabbath in the

Masonic Hall. A church was greatly needed, and he travelled through differ- 
ent States where he had preached, and raised by subscription $3,000 to for- 
ward the erection of the new house. The edifice cost four thousand dollars, 
and was an ornament to the town. A generous lady donated $1,000 to liqui- 
date the debt, and the house was duly dedicated. On that occasion Rev. 
Milliken, who was preeminently a man of prayer, expressed profound gratitude 
to his ^Slaker that his efforts had been crowned with success. 

In 1878, during an epidemic of yellow fever, the faithful minister visited the 
sick and dying, not counting his own life dear so that he might comfort the 
afflicted. He subsequently raised funds for building a church at Somerville, 
Tenn. 

He united with the Masonic fraternity when about thirty years of age, and 
held the degree of Royal Arch Mason. 

Gifted with a fine voice and melody, nothing afforded him more pleasure 
than singing sacred songs to praise his Maker. His last work was assisting 
at an ordination. He was soon after seized with pneumonia, and after suffer- 
ing for ten days passed away in triumph. Eight children. See 5th gen- 
eration.

d. near Benton, Marshall Co., Ky., Dec. 27, 1874. He bought the watermill 
on the north side of the homestead farm and settled there. He added a grist- 
mill to the water power, and this was widely known as " Milliken's Mill," and 
liberally patronized for many years. When the war came on, George left the 
mill and farm in care of a few slaves owned by him and his mother, and 
joined the Confederate Army. He was in a hospital at Island No. 10, when 
it was captured by Union troops. Being some distance from the regular en- 
campment, word was sent for all to escape who were able. He and a com- 
rade made their way to Reelfoot Lake where that body of water was eight 
miles wide, and with an old hatchet made a raft of logs .on which to cross. 
This rude craft was fragile and slow, and night found them in the middle of 
the lake with wet clothing. The weather was chilly, but they found a fisher- 
man's vacated hut on a small island and some matches, and an old kettle in 
which they cooked some dried fruit. After a dreary night they reached the 
mainland the following day and made good their escape. Mr. Milliken was 
afterwards captured by Federals near Paducah, Ky., and held a prisoner there 
and at Cairo, 111. When released, his health was so much impaired that he 
returned to his home in Tennessee and did not rejoin the army. He d. near 
Benton, Marshall County, Dec. 27, 1874. Twelve children, of whom with 
5th generation.

Jesse Milliken lived on Stone's River, Barnes Co., Tenn., but his parentage 
and birthplace are unknown to his descendants. His wife's name does not 
appear. In the absence of any proof to the contrary, I shall assume to say 
that this man was identical with Jesse Milliken mentioned as overseer of the 
will of his father, James Milliken, of Orange Co., N. Carolina, of date Sept. 9, 
1805. As Elias Milliken, brother of Jesse, son of James, removed to Tennessee 
along with others of the family, and as a son of Elias says he had an uncle 
who settled in that state, it is reasonable to suppose it was the Jesse Milliken 
whose name heads this sketch. He had issue four sons and two daughters. 
His son, Creed Milliken, went early to Texas — as did his kinsmen from Ken- 
tucky — and became a ranchman and stockdealer on the Colorado River, but 
was killed by a wild steer about 1847 ; then the father, old Jesse, went to 
Texas to look after the estate. On his third trip to Texas, he brought his 
w^ife on horseback, purchased land near Huntsville for a few years. His sons, 
Albert and John, visited him and induced him to return with them to Tennes- 
see where he probably died. The names of his children, far as known, as fol- 
lows : John., Albert, Austin, Creed, Mary, and Cynthia.

was only nine years of age when his father died, and his first experience in 
business was acquired by peddling newspapers, pastry, apples, etc., among the 
soldiers of General Grant's army ; this trade he followed during the Civil War, 
attending school betimes when he had an opportunity. At the age of seven- 
teen he left his school and found employment witli his brothers, who kept a 
provision store, for a number of years. He then worked in a flouring mill and 
learned the miller's trade ; then he became the buying and selling agent for 
the milling company. In 1878 he left Kentucky and went on the road for the 
Empire !NIilling Company of St. Louis ; afterwards went into the grain busi- 
ness for himself, buying and selling grain along the Ohio and Mississippi 
rivers. When the great tlood of 1883 came on the Ohio, he was caught with 
200,000 bushels of corn on the banks, the most of which was lost, and he was 
financially ruined. He then returned to St. Louis heavily in debt. Soon after 
he became a member of the " Commercial Exchange," entered the brokerage 
business, and by judicious management in speculating he not only succeeded 
in paying his debts, but laid the foundation of his present fortune. He su]> 
ported his widowed mother from the time he was nineteen years of age until

We have no documentary information and but vague traditions con- 
cerning the nativity or nationality of the ancestors of the Mullikin families 
in Maryland. Some venerable persons of the name have assumed that two 
brothers came from the North of Scotland to the Province, and the peculiar 
spelling of the surname gives strength to this assumption. The broad 
Scotch pronunciation of milk is viii/k, and of Milliken would be MuHikiii. 
We do know that many associates and neighbors of the early Maryland 
Mullikins had Scottish surnames, and that Patrick Mullikin once purchased 
a tract of land known as " Scotland ; " probably so called from having been 
settled from natives of that country. 

While we find the surname written by early scribes in a variety of forms 
in the provincial records, there is not an instance known where one of this 
family signed his name other than "Mullikin." 

In the records at Annapolis are found the statement that a female 
named Jatie Midlican, — should probably be Mullikin, — was brought 
Over with eighty-nine others by Samuel Gibbons in the ship "Bachelor" 
from Bristol, England. There are families still living in Maryland who 
have used this orthography ; and, as many branches of the clan in Georgia, 
the Carolinas and Mississippi, were descended from Maryland or Virginia 
ancestors and spell their surname " Mullican, " we are inclined to the belief 
that all were from the same parent stock as the Mullikins. The name 
Mullikin is found recorded in Virginia of date before the American Revo- 
lution, and the late Howard Mullikin found evidence to show that the early 
Maryland families crossed the Potomac from the "Old Dominion." 

The early Mullikins of Maryland were among the " adventurers " and 
** undertakers " who came over to "inhabit and plant " under Lord Balti- 
more, who was Proprietary of the Province. These emigrants came into 
Maryland in companies and were transported thither by persons of means 
at their own charges under inducements offered in the conditions of settle- 
ment, which are set forth in documents found in the Maryland archives at 
Annapolis. 

Patrick Mullikin and James Mullikin came into the Province of 
Maryland long before they got their land patents, but we have no dates. 
They were evidently persons of respectability, possessed of considerable 
means, as one, at least, received grants of land in consideration of trans- 
porting several emigrants into the Province. These men were probabl}^ 
brothers or near relatives. They took up land side by side in Dorchester 
county, and subsequently in Calvert county, Maryland. The same Christian 
names are found in the records of the two branches among the early gen- 
erations, and' wills were witnessed by the members of the two families 
interchangeably — showing an intimate association of interest. 

The late Howard Mullikin of the Talbot county family had made careful 
investigation of the genealogy, and records furnished by this careful authority 
constituted the basis of the family history which will follow. To supplement

his collection the compiler has caused to l)c e.\ainiiied everv known schiicl' ui 
information anil paid considerable money ft)r certilied copies <jf the Land 
Patents, abstracts of wills, and other documents found in this book. 

The Mullikin families were owners of extensive and valuable plantations 
and before the Emancipation Proclamation held numerous slaves. They 
were intermarried with the oldest, most respectable, and wealthy families 
in Maryland — the Howards, Belts, Kemps, Woodwards, DuI^Us, Andersons, 
\Vorthini:;tons, Gaithers, Harwoods, Wrightmans, Bowdells, Parrotts, Mitch- 
ells, Claylands, Holmes', Pickerings, Pahners. 

The early generations were communicants of the Episcopal churches and 
the vital statistics of the families were recorded in the church registers. 
After the great Methodist reformation swept over Maryland many of the 
MuUikins were devoutly aflliliated with that denomination. 

Physically, the Mullikins in Maryland were tall, large framed, brawny 
men ; their complexion in the early generations, fair and florid. Some 
of them by inheritance from maternal tributaries of blood became corpulent 
and of darker complexion. 

As a family, they were possessed of superior intelligence and public 
spirit. They were conservative and did not seek for political preferment nor 
any official distinction. Some of them showed military tastes and held 
commissions during the revolution — and subsequently. Others were church 
w'ardens and vestrymen. A few were successful professional teachers. 

The Mullikins who owned plantations during the early years of Maryland 
history produced enormous quantities of tobacco which was shipped to 
England and exchanged for such commodities as were indispensible in their 
families. Materials for the clothing of the Mullikins was all purchased 
abroad and largely made up upon the plantations by Irish tailors and the 
neighborhood seamstresses. 

" Biue-eyed " flax was raised on the plantations and dressed by slaves. 
The daughters in the Mullikin households were taught to spin, sew and 
knit, and the linen used for clothing, table, and toilet was often woven by 
them. Wool and cotton were also hand-dressed on the plantations and 
woven into coarse cloth. Some of the families had a building erected for 
the spinning and weaving; others had a place set apart for this industry in 
the kitchen, near, but not adjoining the plantation mansion. 

The "gentry" wove linen and wool, brocade of silk, and Erench prints 
of brocade patterns, all imported. The early men in the Mullikin family 
wore the conventional colonial costume — George Washington style — long 
coats with broad full skirts ornamented with brass buttons ; knee breeches 
with silver buckles; silk stockings and "pumps" (low shoes) with silver 
buckles, and fine linen underwear. About the close of the Revolution the 
well-to-do began to wear finer cotton goods, and one of the old Mullikins 
was wont to tell how he rebelled against wearing his first cotton shirt, and 
cried \\\\^x\ his mother insisted that he must put it on. A kind of cloth 
.called "prunella" was imported and of this material the women made 
their slippers. 

The ladies wore very short-waisted, low-necked dresses with long trains 
which were held up by negro boys when they walked through the gardens 
and over the plantations, or when they visited a neighbor's house. Eancy 
the scene ! Matrons wore thread-lace caps and very high shell combs. 



;)14 THE MULLIKIN FAMILY IN MARYLAND. 

Grandmothers wore turbans of fine white " mull " or white muslin. Young 
women wore high combs also, and belts with golden buckles often set with 
precious stones. When making an afternoon call, or a day's visit, the 
MuUikin ladies took their knitting, quilt-piecing, or fine sewing; thus 
uniting sociability and utility. 

It was customary for the Mullikins, the gentlemen, to congregate at 
each others houses and play games both inside and out. They played at 
'' quoits " and cards, and danced with the ladies on waxed floors. Card- 
playing was carried to the extreme of betting and playing for money, even 
among ladies of the "smart set." 

Many of the early Mullikins kept hounds, bred from the best imported 
stock, and frequently met with the planters roundabout, uniting their packs 
after the English fashion for the fox hunt. Young ladies were early taught 
to ride in the saddle and often joined in the field sports. The gallant who 
claimed the fox, decorated the hunting cap of his sweetheart with the tail. 

The old folk were driven to church in fine family carriages, while the 
young gentlemen and young ladies rode horseback. The slaves were usually 
required to remain without doors to care for the Mullikin equipage and to 
be ready, when the service closed, to take their master and mistress home. 

The principal room in the old Mullikin mansion at the " Forks of the 
Patuxent, " was called the " Hall, " and there the young folk danced and 
the old ladies had quilting parties. Apple-butter making was an occasion 
of amusement in the kitchen, and the butter was stirred by negroes. 

Cornshucking, followed by the singing and dancing peculiar to the col- 
ored people, was often watched with great interest by the Mullikin families. 

When a party of young people assembled at the Mullikin mansion for 
recreation, they had a game called "Dusting the Butter." A pound of 
butter was tied up in a canvas bag and hung before the open fire, while a 
slave kept it constantly turning. At intervals some one of the company 
would raise the cry, " Who will dust the butter " ? In turn some young lady 
would spring forward and shake flour over the bag of melting butter. If 
the person called did not respond promptly, — and this was often the case, — 
a forfeit was demanded, and paid later in the evening. The butter was con- 
stantly melting and ozing through the bag, but the dry flour thrown on and' 
mixing with it, prevented it from dropping until it was crusted and browned 
by the heat and was very good eating when the bag was taken down.

v-^. 



James Mullikin came to Maryland contemporary witli Iiis kinsman, Patrick 
MuUikin, who was head of the " Eastern Shore l"'amily." He patented a 
rhree-hundred acre tract of land under Lord Baltimore, in Dorchester Co.,) 
\Id., calleil *' Mullikin's Orchard", on April iSth, 1664, and a two-hundred 
acre tract in the same county denominated " Mullikin's Green, " on Aug. 
14th, 1665. From this man are descended the "Western Shore Families," 
early settled in Anne Aruiulel and Prince George Counties. James Mul- 
likin was married prior to 18.68 to Mary Darnali.,* widow of John Darnall, 
who was evidently his second wife. He made his will on Aug:. i8th, 1660 ; 
this was proved Oct. 16, 1669, the year of his death. i'his testament is 
very brief. He caused to be written: "First, I give and bequeath all my 
lands and all that I have unto Mary Mullikin my wife and all my children, 
and that none other shall have to do with anything therein, she only pay- 
ing my debts." This was witnessed by William Murrah and IJenjamin 
Granger. In his will he was styled "Planter of Patuxent, " and the old 
Mullikin estate so long in possession of this branch of the family has been 
described as situated at the "Forks of the Patuxent." From the old Land 
Plats now preserved at the homestead, it appears that the " Forks" means a 
bend, or loop, in the Patuxent river. One who claimed to know, said James 
Mullikin purchased the Patuxent property for two of his sons and that he, 
meanwhile, lived in another county. From his title in the will we conclude 
that this James was a resident of Anne Arundel county. The names of all 
of his children are not known as they are not mentioned in his will. It is 
recorded, however, in the Provincial records, as follows : " An act for the 
payment of the public charge of the Province in Calvert county, to the 
orphan children of James Mullikin, 450 pounds of tobacco." This was of 
date April, 1671 ; was due to their father for some service he had rendered 
the province and was paid by order of the Provincial Assembly. From the 
plural number employed in his will, " all my children, " and the corres- 
ponding statement in the last quoted entry of the early records, we know 
that there were several children in this family ; and we have found in the 
registers of the Episcopal churches the names of Mullikins of a date so 
early that we are safe in assuming that they were the offspring of this James 
Mullikin. Some of these were probably children of his first wife, and sons 
may have settled in other sections of Maryland as heads of families whose 
genealogical connections have not been satisfactorily established. There 
are reasons for believing that this James Mullikin, and Patrick Mullikin of 
the Eastern Shore family, were brothers. They both settled in Calvert 
county, and took up land near each other in Dorchester county. 



*I am not sure about this surname. The late Howard Mullikin of Baltimore, Md., 
wrote me: "it is Darnell or Darnerall." In one branch of the Mullikin family it was

CHILDREN OF JAMES MULLIKIN A^rD MARY DENRALL. 

James MuUikin-' (2), son of James Mullikin, was b. before 1663 as proved 
by a Chancery Deposition in the Land Commissioner's office at Annapolis, 
I\Id. He was evidently his father's successor to the old estate in Anne 
Arundel county. He was a man of considerable enterprise and consigned 
his crops of tobacco to English merchants, exchanging this " Indian weed " 
for such articles as were needed on his plantation. He made his will April 
25, 1740, and must have been an aged man. His wife's name was Charity. 
He gave his son Je /-efni a /i a negro named " Robert." Gave his son Benjamin 
a negro named "Snow," — with condition that if either son should die 
before the age of 18, the survivor should have both negroes. He gave his 
son Tho7nas a negro boy. Gave his daughter, Mary Howard, 20 pounds in 
money. Gave his daughter, Elizabeth Durall* a negro girl named "Hannah." 
Gave his son yfliOT^.r a negro named "Pompey." Provides that his sons 
Benjamin, Jeremiah and Thomas " enjoy the benefit of their own labor" after 
thev reach the age of 18. Uutil that time thev were to be maintained and 
educated by their mother. Balance of his property bequeathed to his 
children, James, Be?ijamiji,/eremia/i, Thomas, and Elizabeth. Gave grand- 
son, James Durall, the first child of negro Hannah, " when it is born." 
This will was witnessed by Thomas Mullikin and John Mullikin. Names 
of children, far as known, will follow.

CHIIiDREN OF JAMES AND CHARITY MULLIKIN. 

1. Jeremiah Mullikin-' (1), son of James- (2), was b. after 1722, and was 
not 18 years of age in 1740 when mentioned in his father's will. It has 
been stated that this Jeremiah Mullikin was settled by his father on his 
lands at the " Forks of the Patuxent, " alongside of his brother Thomas, 
and the " platts " of the estate show the area possessed by each with bound- 
aries, partition lines, landmarks, etc. His wife was Margaret and his two 
daughters, of whom more hereafter, were m. with members of the Howard 
and Worthington families. In his will he mentioned his son. Belt Mullikin, 
whom he appoints his executor ; daughters Margaret and Ann, and grand- 
sons Jeremiah Brice Howard and Jeremiah Worthington, to each of whom 
he gave a negro boy. His will was signed by Thomas Mullikin Jr., and 
Zachariah and Joshua Gaither. He d. on his plantation in Ann^Arundel 
Co., in 1799. '^jj^ 

2. Benjamin Mullikin'' (1), son of James'- (T), b. after 1722, w-as lifit rS 
years of age when, in 1740, his father made his will and gave him a negro 
boy by name of "Snow." He was to be maintained and educated by ft!» 
mother until he arrived to the age of 18 years; then to "have the benefit 
of his own labors." This Benjamin Mullikin removed to North Carolina, 
settling in Buncomb county, where he was m. to Margaret Jarvis, but 
subsequently removed to Anderson Co., South Carolina, where he lived to

old age, and brought up a large family. For names of children and grand- 
children see " Mullikins of South Carolina." 

3. Thomas MuUikin' ( 1 ), son of James- ( 1 ), h. alter 172J, was under 18 
years of age when his father's will was made in 1 7)0. ihis lad, like two of 
his brothers, was to be supported and educateil In' his mother until he had 
attaineii the age of 18 years; then he was to have the benefit of his own 
labors. Wi him his father bequeathed a negro boy and, jointly with his 
brothers and sisters, the balance of his property. This was the first Thomas 
Mullikin of whom 1 linil any record, but he was not identical with that 
'I'honuis who made his will in Anne Arundel county in 1745; who must 
have been b. as early as 1708 or 1710. No record of a family found, but 
this is no proof that he did not have one. 

4. James Mullikin' (3), son of James- (1), may have been his father's 
eldest son, as he was not mentioned as a minor in 1740. He was given a 
negro named "Pompey," and made joint heir with his brothers and sisters 
to his father's estate. I have no more information concerning this fames 
>rullikin. 

5. Elizabeth Mullikin'' (1), daughter of James'- (2), was the wife of a Mr. 
Du^'M.i., and had a son as early as 1740 who was a beneficiary of his 
grandfather's will. Her father gave her a negro named " Hannah, " and to 
her son, Hannah's first child, prenatal, when b. Probably some of the 
Maryland l)uj"alls are her descendents. 

6. Mary Mullikin' (1), daughter of James- (2) was m. to a Mr. Howard 
before 1740. To her, in his will, he gave 20 pounds in money. She was 
probably the ancestress of some of the numerous and respectable Howards 
of Maryland. 



Thomas Mullikin of Anne Arundel Co., Md., made his will in 1745. His 
wife's name was Elizabeth. To her he gave his dwelling and plantation 
during her widowhood ; then to his son Williafu to whom he also gave a 
negro man named " Tone, " on condition that the widow have his labor dur- 
ing her life. He gave to his son 27iomas two negro boys named " Sharper " 
and " Black Wall." Provides that this son Thomas shall have the benefit of 
his labors when he arrives at the age of eighteen years. He gave to his 
daughter Charity, a negro girl named " Hannah " on condition that she 
should serve his widow during her widowhood. The names of his children, 
as mentioned in his w^ill, were : JVi/liiun, Thoinas, Charity, Eleanor, 
Elizabeth, Rachel, (Goodman) and Mary (Harper). It will be seen that 
this Thomas Mullikin was not identical with Thomas of Revolutionary fame. 
as he was living many years subsequent to the death of this Thomas. And 
the names of his children do not correspond. 



Thomas Mullikin, probably a son of James"^ (2), was born as early as 1740. 
He married ELiZAiiKiH EIllkx Williams about 1762. She had several 
brothers in the Revolutionary Army. Family tradition makes this Thomas 
and his brother Jeremiah their father's heirs to the plantation at the 
"Forks of the Patuxent," and he was evidently the son of the second 
James and his wife Charity, beforementioned. An old plan of the Patuxent

estate " Platted by Brice Howard, 6th Oct., 1786, by a scale of 50 equal 
parts in an inch," shows the division line between Jeremiah Mullikin and 
Thomas Mullikin. A note on this plan reads thus : " Courses for the 338 
acres beginning at a stone planted by Benjamin Mullikin near the road, it 
being the beginning of the dividing line between them " (Jeremiah and 
Thomas). Then follows the course of the survey. This land is denomi- 
nated : " A Morety of Merritons Fancy," and " Simpson's Choice." That 
part assigned to Thomas Mullikin contained 3383^ acres; that assigned to 
Jeremiah Mullikin contained 337^ acres. 

Another plan, surveyed and platted by Richard Beard 20th Feb., 1684-5, 
shows the boundaries and number of acres in the original lands known as 
" Merritons Fancy," and "Simpson's Choice." This survey was made for 
John Merriton and John Simpson. The plan, or "platt," as it was called, 
beautifully drawn with pen and ink, shows the course of the Patuxent river 
and contains the figures of twelve trees at as many corners, named " Gum- 
tree," " Hickory," or "Red oak "as the case might require. "Merritons 
Fancy" contained 500 acres, and "Simpson's Choice" 615 acres. A part 
of this grant was owned by Colonel Greenbury. Accompanying this old 
plan of the two tracts of land is a document showing the courses of the 
boundaries. 

Thomas Mullikin owned more that 50 slaves at one time. He had a 
large and elegantly constructed carriage, in form like a Swafi, drawn by a 
pair of handsome, spirited horses which was of capacity suitable for two 
persons besides the coachman, and footman who stood behind. On this 
vehicle was carved the coat-of-arms of the family and under it a large or- 
namental letter "M for Mullikin. Thomas Mullikin was a very strict dis- 
ciplinarian in his family and with his servants. He never allowed any pro- 
fane language used on his plantation, and insisted on his family being 
represented at church every Sabbath. He was, however, a very indulgent 
father and kept open house for his children's company. But he had a 
quick temper and if some of his boys were in a dispute and saw him ap- 
proaching they instantly disappeared. He was a dignified, proud-spirited 
gentleman of the old southern aristocratic school, and held fast to the 
tradition of a superior ancestry. 

It was a custom of Thomas Mullikin to sit with his wife, of whom he 
was very fond, to a cup of tea at four o'clock every afternoon. When they 
had sufficed, a meal was prepared for the children, at which it was the duty 
of the eldest daughters to preside, and see that each was provided for. The 
girls disliked to serve in this capacity and on one occasion Cave, — who was 
named for her father's favorite physician, — and her sister C/iarity, were in 
a dispute as to whose turn it was to serve. At that moment their father 
appeared on the scene, and at the sight of his displeased countenance they 
beat a hasty retreat. Cave was so chagrined at having made such an un- 
dignified exit, that she determined to turn the tables on her father. First, 
she secreted herself under the doorsteps ; then, after having found out that 
the whole family were searching for her, she slipped up to bed and feigned 
a severe headache as a result of the fright her father gave her. As soon, 
however, as he had exhibited suitable repentence, she recovered. A few 
days after this incident the elder daughters were in the parlor with 
some young gentlemen who had called, and at the same time the younger

girls were playing at "visiting." All unexpected, one of them entered the 
room in trailing garments and said : '* ilow are you all ? I hear our sister 
("ave is ill from fear that her father would cane her." At this exjjosure 
Cave, with much embarrassment, confessed the deception she had practiced 

At one time Thomas Mullikin was riding over his plantation accom- 
panied by a favorite negro, ami was overtaken by nightfall. They heard a 
sound in the shrubbery as of distress, and going to investigate, a panther 
sprang upon them. The frightened slave instantly turned and (led, while 
his master followed as fast as his Heet-horse could carry him. When the 
fanilK heard the frenzied negro screaming as he approached the house, 
thev ran out with lights to learn the cause ; these frightened the panther 
that had pursued them and they reached shelter unharmed. The remark- 
able thing about this adventure was that the negro outran the horse and 
reached home before his master. Fancy the race for life ! 

Numbered among the slaves on the Mullikin plantation at the Forks of 
the I'atuxent, were the son and daughter of an African chief, stolen on the 
coast and brought to Maryland by the slave-traders. It was the duty of 
this negro boy to care for the flaxen-haired baby, Thomas Mullikin Jr., and 
while doing so he would often run his dusky fingers through the yellow- 
curls and shout to his sister, "Look Dinah," and then would throw himself 
backward and shake with convulsive laughter. 

'Thomas Mullikin raised extensive fields of tobacco, much of which was 
cured on the plantation and shipped to England to be exchanged for such 
goods and wares as were needed in the family. He also raised wool and 
flax and this was hand-dressed and manufactured at the Mullikin home. 
The voung ladies were all taught to sew and knit and found much pleasure 
in making c|uilts and samplers. 

The children of Thomas attended the same school and their teacher was 
boarded in the same family. At one time an educated Irishman who had 
found his wav into the colonv was their instructor, and being verv fond of 
a cup of tea in the afternoon, he would go snuffing around and in his 
inimitable brogue ask if the " ta-kattle " was on. When the children were 
at school the slaves carried their dinners out to them ; the tablecloths, 
napkins and dishes were spread upon the grass under some tree and all had 
a merry time while at their repast. 

When old enough to ride, each of the daughters had a horse, and thus 
early became expert in the saddle. They were accustomed, when visiting 
or going to church, to ride their own palfreys. 

In dressing for dinner on some especial occasions, Mrs. Mullikin would 
wear a long, graceful white ostrich feather in her hair to make her costume 
more attractive. This woman was noted for her beneficence. She would 
throw a cloak about her, draw the hood over her head, call a negro boy to 
jump up behind her, and ride for miles to visit the sick, rich or poor, and 
minister to their needs. In the absence of the doctor she could take his 
place and perform his offices successfully. At one time the " quarter fever " 
broke out on her husband's plantation and thirty negroes died under the 
doctor's hand. Then Elizabeth proposed to her husband that she w'ould 
have the barn cleared out, whitewashed, and clean straw beds laid down on 
the floor. 'This was done, the stricken negroes were removed to the barn, 
and she attended them, assisted by some of the negro women. Every one 



520 POSTERITY OF JAMES MULLIKIN. 

was saved. The negro houses were then cleaned and whitewashed and the 
" fever " disappeared. Mrs. Mary Hart believes that this Thomas Mullikin 
married his wife in England, and that she was a Scotch gentlewoman who 
brought her serving maid with I er. This highborn lady was always spoken 
of as proud, haughty and imperious, and she could never fully adjust herself 
to the primitive conditions of the country at the time of her settlement in 
Maryland. Her .. '^"i^l\ was married in Prince George county, and a 
daughter became the wife of Jeremiah Mullikin from whom the Wood- 
wards and Belt Mullikin were descended. Mrs. Thomas Mullikin could 
never forgive her son for this alliance with the daughter of her lid, but the 
descendents of this woman are among the most intellectual and respect- 
able members of the Mullikin family. 

This Thomas Mullikin showed his enterprise by the introduction into 
Maryland of a team of large, handsome horses, wearing bells, and a great 
covered wagon. This was widely known as the " Bell Team, " and was at 
that time, an inovation. Mrs. Mary Hart, a woman well informed in the 
history of this Mullikin family, is quite sure that her grandfather purchased 
the horses and wagon in England. For many years this " Bell Team " was 
used for the transportation of freight from Pennsylvania and Ohio over the 
mountains, passing regularly through Cumberland, Md., and attracting con- 
siderable attention by the music of the bells and the enormous capacity of 
the canvas-covered wagon. Some soldiers pressed this team into service 
during the Revolution to carry arms to Cum_berland, but it was restored to 
its owner after some lapse of time. 

A-ote. — Many of the slaves on the Patuxent Plantation were pnrchased from cargoes of 
Africans brought to this country by the slave dealers. " Guinea negroes " were said to 
be the best breed known at that time, and their descendents in point of integrity, intellect 
and sterling worth, were celebrated throughout the community. One of these was 
deserving of special notice. His name was Moses. He was the son oi Lyle, and grandson 
of Guinea parents. This slave was a very bright Mulatto — one authority says his father 
was a gentleman in Annapolis — born about the year 1800, and died in 1870. He was left 
by his master, Capt. Thomas Mullikin, to his second wife who permitted him to live and 
work where he pleased; but as a reward for such liberties required of him $75.00 per 
year. He fell in arrears of payment, and a daughter by her first husband, who was 
executrix, collected what was due several years after the death of his old mistress. Moses 
was a rough carpenter and found plenty of work. He also cultivated small patches of 
land. A local preacher of the Methodist church, hfe dispensed the word to the colored 
folk in the church-house of the white Methodists on alternate Sabbaths. None of his 
numerous children lived to be more than 40 years of age. Pie was much thought of by 
the white people, and recognized as their leader by the colored people. His wife outlived 
him, dying several years later. 

Thomas Mullikin was a military man. Records found in the Maryland 
archives show that he held a commission in the militia during the Revo- 
lution. June 15, 1776, the Council of Safety orders payment to Mrs. Anne 
Johnson for providing subsistence for Capt. Thomas Mullikin's Company of 
Militia on the late alarm of the " Otter, " sloop of war. At a meeting of 
Capt. Thomas Mullikin's Company of Militia, May 15, 1776, he resigned 
his commission, as did Belt Mullikin the 2d lieutenant. 

He made his will Oct. 11, 1800. It was probated in 1805, and he 
probably died in that year. His widow survived many years, dying about 
1825. He bequeathed his dwelling and plantation, being part of land 
called "Simpson's Choice, " part called " It is done at last, " and part of

CHILDREN OF THOMAS AND ELIZABETH E. WILLIAMS. 

\/ I. James MuUlkin^ (4), eldest son of Thomas' (1), was the joint-heir with 
IJenjamin to the homestead plantation at the "Forks of I'atuxent." This 
was held in common until i8ii, when the lands were parted by a new sur- 
vey and "platted" by James H. Marriott. The section assigned to James 
embraced the lands denominated " It is done at last, " and " Chaneys Tur- 
_ chase, " and contained i88i^ acres. He deeded 126^^ acres of land to 
Samuel Snowden, (let. 18, 1811, and 62 acres to Benjamin Mullikin, his 
brother, same date. The partition deed, now before the compiler of this 
volume, has the signature of his wife who was maiden-named Aw Di'vai.l. 
This was his second wife. He married for first wife a Miss PK'rrv. Some 
records at Annapolis show that this James Mullikin was a commissioned 
officer in the Maryland militia. In November, 1775, James was voted for 
as a field officer in the Patuxent Battalion. June 18, 1776, Richard Ben- 
nett Hall, captain of a company of 25th battalion, Maryland militia, com- 
plains that James Mullikin, ist lieutenant of his company, had tried to in- 
jure him by misrepresentation and abusive language, and requests a court 
martial at Annapolis. Order passed by Council of Safety, July 6, 1776, for 
a general court martial to be held at the trial of Capt. Hall, Lieut. .Mulli- 
kin and others. On Jan. 27, 1777, Robert Tyler informs Council of Safety 
that Capt. Hall of his battalion refuses to obey orders, and advises them to 
make ist Lieut. James Mullikin captain. July 4, 1777, a commission was 
issued by the Council of Safety to James Mullikin as 2d lieut. in Capt. John 
Mitchell's company, 14th battalion militia of Caroline county. May ist, 
1778, commissioB issued to James Mullikin as captain in upper battalion of 
militia, Prince George county. June 15, 1778, Council orders payment to 
Capt. James Mullikin of ;^9,6,8d due to him and part of his company. Coun- 
cil appoints James Mullikin, justice of the peace for Prince George county, 
Xov. 20, 1778 ; his commission is.sued Jan. 26, 1779. Feb. 23, 1779, C\)uncil 
notifies James Mullikin of Prince George county of complaint by J. Drane 
and others against him, and their request for his removal. Wednesday, 
March 10, appeared for a hearing and witnesses summoned. Date changed 
to March 29th. April ist, 1779, record of three days in examining witnesses 
on case. Recommended that differences be settled and the contestants live 
in peace. Memoralists agree to withdraw complaint. So much of the court 
martial. 

This James Mullikin was born as early as 1767 — possibly before that — 
as he was older than his brother Benjamin whose birth was in 1769. Some 
years after the partition of the land, and after he had married his second 
wife, he sold out and removed to Kentucky. At that time he must have 
been fully fifty years of age. He was very poor when he left Maryland. 
Several years afterwards he took a drove of horses and mules to his native 
state and remained among his relatives until they were sold ; then returned 
to Kentuckv and was never afterward heard from bv his familv save by a

riott at the time denominated the " north section " and bordering on the 
river. Thus Benjamin succeeded to the homestead and buildings possessed 
by his father, his grandfather, and great-grandfather, James Mullikin the

10. Elizabeth Mullikin"' (2), daughter of Thomas (1), b. in Anne Arundel 
Co., Md., was m. to Mr. W'rightson Lowe, a shipbuilder of Baltimore. 
She is described as a woman of remarkable beauty, of a sunny disposition, 
and never known to get angry. She had five children : Anne, Thomas, 
James, John, and EUzabeth. 

11. Mary MuUikin* (2), daughter of Thomas'^ (1), b. in Anne Arundel Co., 
Md. ; was m. to Rev. Richard TidinCxS, a Methodist minister, and d. when

the same locality), where she d., by whom two sons. He m. second, 
in Baltimore, Md., AdriaJ^na Collins, a widow, who soon d. childless. 
His third wife was Mary Elizabeth Stevens of Kent Island,- Queen Anne 
Co., Md., from a prominent English family early settled in the state. By 
this union there were three children of whom, with other issues, more here- 
after. When about sixteen years of age he was sent to Baltimore to learn 
merchandizing with Thomas Keaton who was in some wav connected with 
the MuUikin family.* But he became a teacher in Washington, Baltimore, and 
at the " Forks of the Patuxent." He was a concise and forceable writer 
and a natural teacher and orator. He was a close student and acquired his 
education after he left the country school, and always spoke with some 
degree of disappointment because his father did not send him to college. 
He was long a Methodist classleader and local preacher ; also a Magistrate 
and Notary Public. In politics, he was an " Old Line Whig, " and believed 
in all that Henry Clay and Daniel Webster stood for. He was a strong 
Abolitionist, violently opposed to slavery, but always stood on the side of 
law. He was heard to say that while he would not help a negro to run 
away from his master, he would turn his back and not stop him. He was 
very conservative and carried this trait of character into everyday life, in- 
to church and politics ; always willing to "let well enough alone." He was 
tall and of full figure ; of fair complexion with very intelligent blue eyes. 
He was called a very handsome man and was something of a beau in his 
young days. His residence was about one mile from his father's home- 
stead on the banks of the Patuxent river. His last wife d. in Baltimore, 
Md., in Aug., 1855. Mr. Mullikin d. in Lancaster Co., Penn., while visit- 
ing some relatives, in Dec, 1863, in his 80th year. For an account of his 
children see 5th generation.

Patrick Mullikin\ whose parents' names and places of nativity are not cer- 
tainly known, was probably born as early as 1600. He was one of the 
first " adventurers " who undertook to transport at his own charges emi- 
grants to " inhabit and plant " into the Province of Maryland, and con- 
sidering the conditions of settlement, we assume that he was a man of 
quality and possessed of considerable means. Lord Baltimore was then 
Proprietary of the whole Province, and he held out liberal inducements in 
form of extensive grants of land to persons who would undertake to procure 
and transport a certain number of emigrants who were willing to become 
permanent settlers and planters ; and the concessions of land were to be 
in proportion to the number of such persons brought into the Province. 
The documents in the Maryland archives at Annapolis show that Patrick 
Mullikin transported, at different times, a considerable number of emigrants 
into Maryland, and that he was awarded extensive tracts of land in Dor- 
chester, Calvert, and Talbot counties for this service.* Among those by 
him transported whose names appear, were, Joane Mullikin, Humphrey 
Walters, Nicholas Bartley, John Sluter, Christopher Ellis, and Ann, his cook ; 
and at another time, John Cook, William Eldridge, William Crayman, and 
John Sittimore. 

Patrick Mullikin was in the Province of Maryland as early as March 30, 
1663, for on that day there was surveyed and laid out for him a tract of 
land in Talbot Co., consisting of 300 acres called "Patrick's Plains ; " but 
for reasons not specified he did not immediately comply with the conditions 
of settlement (which were changed frequently) and his patent did not issue. 
He subsequently fulfilled his obligation, however, and on July 5, 1646, 
received his title. 'J 

The records of Annapolis show that Patrick Mullikin in April, 1662, 
desired his warrant for 700 acres of land on the Eastern Shore, or 350 acres 
on the ^^'estern Shore, dated 2d May, i66i, to be returned by the last of 
December next to be renewed. This warrant was issued to the Surveyor 
General to lay out for Patrick Mullikin 700 acres on the Eastern Shore, or 
350 on the Western Shore, of date April i, 1662, and certified to be re- 
turned by the last of September following. He did not have his entire 
warrant executed at once. In those days they were allowed to " split " the 



r^ 



* On May 2d, 1661, Patrick Mullikin demands land for transporting Joane Mullikin. 
Humphrey Walters, Nicholas Barley, John Sheter, Christopher Ellis, and Ann his cook. 
Warrant to .Surveyor General to lay out for the said Patrick Mullkin seven hundred acres 
on the Eastern Shore, or three hundred and fifty on the Western Shore. On March 20, 
1662, Fiancis Armstrong enters these rights, viz:— James Williams, John Cook, Thomas 
Binks, Margaret Stone, Henry Gill, Francis Parrott, Hatton Band, Charles Davis, John 
Sickamore, William Trayman, William I'^lderidge, and John Cook, in all twelve persons 
having oath proved in ordi)iarie sitpria fol. 230, and demands warrant for the same. And 
the said Francis Armstrong doth assign over four of the aforementioned rights unto 
Patrick Mullikin ; and he, the said Patrick, demands warrant, and there were laid out for 
him 200 acres of land according to the said assignment.

on record Nov. 20, 1654, wlicn he with others piirchasetl a neck of hmd in 
Leonard's Creek known as "Scotland." Shortly afterward.s, Feb. 22, 1656, 
we rtnd by record that Patrick Mullikin and James Cianion "doth this day 
enter a caveat in the Secretary's office for administration upon the estate 
of Andrew Scott and Thomas .\yer, deceased." He was mentioneil as a 
juryman at a court held at Patuxent, Dec. 30, 1657. With James (Jannis 
(Sic) he patented a 500 acre tract of land called "Taylor's Joy," Xoy. 19, 
165S. On May 2, 1661, he entered his demand for transportation in/ the 
province »of his wife and four other persons; in consideration of which he 
obtained'' a grant of land consisting of 400 acres in Dorchester ("o., Md., 
known as " Patrick's Well." He sold this tract in 1674 to John Pollard. 
On Mar. 30, 1663, he had surveyed "Patrick's Choice," a 200 acre tract 
in Talbot Co., and the following day, Mar. 31, 1663 a tract of 300 acres 
in the same county called "Patrick's Plains."* After this we do not Hnd 
mention of him in the arclyves until Apr., 1669, when the Maryland Assem- 
bly orders 450 pounds of tobacco paid to him, consideration not stated, and 
in Sept., 1688, the Assembly ordered 300 pounds more be paid to him. 

The date of his m. to Joan, his first wife, is not known, but we may get 
an approximate idea by the birth of his son John, it being in 1659. Al- 
though he took up land in Dorchester Co., he does not appear to have ever 
resided there. He probably lived in Calvert Co., until after the survey of 
his Talbot countv lands and then established his home there. .\t this time 
Talbot county had not been erected much more than one year. After the 
death of Joan Mullikin, he m. secondly, Apr. 6, 167 1, Elizabktii Kkn'drick. 
He d. at " Patrick's Choice," his homestead plantation, in 1686. I'here 
were probably several children by Joan as the records of the Episcopal church 
show baptisms and marriages of many MuUikins who cannot be otherwise 
accounted for. The only son known was 

John Mullikin- (1), son of Patrick' (1), and his wife Joan, was b. in 1659, 
as proved by a deposition made by him in 17 13, which reads as follows: 
"John Mullakin, aged 54 years or thereabouts (being first sworn), on oath 
says that he well remembers that his father, Patrick Mullakin, in his lifetime 
told this depont that there was likely to be some dispute betwixt him and 
Walter Dickinson, about the land he dwelt on etc., etc. "Taken this 27th 
March in the 12th year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lady Queen Anne, 
Anon D. in 17 13." On Feb. g, 1679, he was appointed an attorney to trans- 
fer land to William Stevens, of Island Creek, Talbot Co., Md. He- m. his 
first wife Jane, about 1684, and settled at " Patrick's Plain.s," on land given 
him by his father, and now (1903) owned by a descendent, Clayland Mulli- 
kin Esq., of Easton, Md. In addition to this land inherited from his father, 
he was possessed of " Readly," 150 acres, a part of " Casson's Choice." In 

♦"Patrick's ri,AiNs"is located on Lslancl Creek, a stream making in from the 
Choptauk river and is navigable for 100 ton vessels up to the above named farm which 
is some four miles from its mouth. There are now no old buildings on the estate, and 
the old graveyard where the early generations of the Mullikin family were interred is 
without inscribed monuments. There was an Episcopal church three miles away and 
about the same distance from Trappe ; this was abandoned in 1S58, and was destroyed by 
tire since the new church was erected in town. The records of births, marriages and 
deaths of the Mullikin family were found in the registers of St. Peter's parish.

the year 1692-3, he was on the grand jury, in 1708 and 1709 was vestryman 
of St. I'eter's parish, and in a list of pewholders in the vestry book he 
appears, in 1730, as holding pew No. 7 in the parish church at "White 
Marsh." His wife, Jane, d. Aug. 4, 1701,, and he m. secondly, Sarah, widow 
of John Mitchell, who survived him, he having d. in 1736. His will of date 
May 2, 1734, and proved June 28, 1736, is recorded at Annapolis ; the orig- 
inal is at the office of register of wills at Easton, Md., and his signature 
thereto, though written when he was 75 years of age, is strikingly legible, 
and shows that he spelled his surname " Mullikin," as generally used by the 
families in Maryland. From his will it appears that he had seven children 
whose names will presently be recorded.

*\Vhen Rosanna Mullikin was young she made her breakfast on bread and milk, in 
summer, out-of-doors. There being a grove near the house she would go there with 
cup and spoon to eat. She was known to come Isack to the house frequently for more 
milk ; this excited curiosity, and she was watched. What was the surprise of her parents 
when they saw her sitting on a log feeding a large snake in front of her with the bread and 
milk ; and when she did not feed fast enough the snake would try to put its head into the 
cup ; then she would rap it with her spoon until it drew back. Her parents were horrified 
at such a spectacle and quickly put a stop to this singular transaction. As the girl soon 
became sick and died, superstitious old dames said the snake had charmed her. At any 
rate, the snake got the "lion's share " of the food, while for want of proper nourishment, 
the maid grew weak and went down to death.

'm& 



I'ht Mullikin families in Kentucky are all of one race but descended from 
different branches of the parent stock. Their posterity, living side by side 
in Robertson, Nicholas, Fleming and Mason counties, mingle and hold tra- 
ditions of their derivation and kinship, but have no record to prove the con- 
nection. From what can be learned by an extensive correspondence, it 
appears that families from the Anne Arundel and the Montgomery counties 
in Maryland, removed to Kentucky about the same time, but didn't all make 
the journey the same year. The motive for this westward migration was to 
secure cheap and rich lands. Prospector's from Maryland, hearing of the 
advantages to be gained by a settlement in the new state, had visited Ken- 
tucky and returned home to give a report of their adventures and the quality 
of the soil, timber, water and climate. They exploited the richness of the 
"bottom lands," the abundance of "lime water" springs, the "mill privi- 
leges," and healthful climate. It was a land flowing with wild honey and salt- 
licks, and abounding in possums and coons. The excitement resulting from 
the stories told by these forerunners was contagious, and there were hastened 
disposals of property and a general " pulling up of stakes " in preparation 
for the removal to Kentucky. 

They made the journey from Montgomery and Anne Arundel counties 
with horses and canvas-covered wagons,taking their meagre household goods, 
slaves, and stock with them. Their route was — -after crossing the Poto- 
mac — through Virginia to the Ohio river which they crossed by ferry boats 
to the Kentucky side. They camped on the road and the women cooked 
food around the evening tires. Land was entered, rude log houses rolled up, 
farms cleared, and wheat, maize, cotton, hemp, flax, tobacco, and vegetables 
were cultivated. Life in the new plantations was simple, and luxuries a minus 
quantity. Clothing was produced home-spun, from wool, cotton and flax. 
The spinning wheel and loom were heard in every cabin. Birch-bark was 
used for buckets and goard-shells for dishes. For house lights they used 
pine-knots, and " slut " lamps made by putting a twisted rag for the wick, 
into a mussel shell filled with bear's grease or possum oil. The long rifles 
were always at hand, and the Mullikin's became keen hunters. Salt was 
found at the deer-licks, and wild honey in hollow trees. 

The Mullikin families were remarkably prolific, and their posterity is 
now numerous in many counties. Sub-branches from Kentucky and North 
Carolina stock have been planted in the western states, and the Mullikin 
blood flows in the veins of a hundred families bearing other names. Many 
are persons of superior natural parts, and the present generations are avail- 
ing themselves of the advantages of education. .\s a family, they have been 
proud-spirited and independent, but kind-hearted and hospitable. The 
families in Kentucky have but few vital records, and their history and gene- 
alogy are principally traditional.

John •^"ullikin- (1), eldest son dI Lewis' (1). u.i.s \>. m I'liiKe (;ci>i_-4c ( </., 
.^'cl.. iiiul was baptized in St. Johns churcli of IMscatawa parish by Rev. 
Addison, March 15, 1751. He went with his parents to Montgomery Co., 
Md., in childhood and lived there until maturity. 

The pension records at \\'ashinj;ton disclose the fact that he was a sol- 
dier of the Revolution, having enlisted in Spotsylvania Co., Va., for a term 
of two years in Fel)ruary, 1776, in Capt. Oliver Towle's Co. of the 6th regi- 
ment Continental Line under Col. Mordecai Buckner. He was in the battles 
of Ciermantown and Princeton, at the siege of New Lsland Fort, and at the 
taking of Hessions at I'renton. Was discharged at \'alley Forge in Feb., 
1778. After the war he settled in Shelby Co., Ky., where he made appli- 
cation for pension in 1816, and at the time of payment .Sept. 23, 1822, his 
age was stated as 66 years. In his apjilication he said he was "old and in- 
firm" and was living alone with his wife. Schedule of property $70. Re- 
cited that he had six sons in the army during the war of 18 12-15, of whom 
one was killed at River Raisin, and five wounded while in the service. \\'as 
not certain that more than three were then living and none able to "main- 
tain me and my old woman." The records of the Interior Dept. at Wash- 
ington, and the pension accounts at Frankfort, Ky., show that he removed 
to Oldham Co.,Ky., where he was paid until 1829, when he removed to Jeffer- 
son Co., Ivy., where his last instalment was paid in 1837. As no widow ap- 
plied for his pension, his wife had probably predeceased him. It would ap- 
pear from the correspondence of dates that he had found a home with his son 
James in Oldham Co., Ky., until he removed to Franklin Co., Ind., and being 
left behind, the old hero-soldier went to live with some of his sons or relatives 
in Jefferson Co., Ky., where he died in 1837. The statement found in his 
pension application furnishes us a clue to a connection between him and his 
children, although none were mentioned by name. Five of his sons were 
wounded in the army during the 18 12-15 war. ^\'e know that James and 
William Mullikin of Shelby, Henry, and Trimble counties, w'ere in the army 
during that period, and the records at the pension office show that William 
was wounded in his left thigh at the battle of New Orleans, while fighting 
under Gen. Jackson, and was granted a pension. It is not known that 
James Mullikin was wounded, although he participated in the same engage- 
ment. Accounting for these two sons and one who was killed, we have 
mention of three others not accounted for. We have found, however, that 
the names of John, Benjamin and Charles Mullikin appear upon the army 
roster at I-'rankfort, Ky., all of whom served in the army from that state and 
one of these was probably killed at River Raisin. Some of the sons may 
have died of their wounds. We know that James Mullikin moved from (Old- 
ham Co., Ky., to Franklin Co., Ind., in 1829, and that John Mullikin re- 
moved to Jefferson Co. from Oldham Co., Ky., the same year. We also know- 
there were Mullikins in Jefferson Co. long after the old soldier's death. 



564 Mi'LLIKINS IN SHELBY COUNTY, KENTUCKY. 



John Mullikin is supposed to have m. a Miss Price in Virginia who was 
a sister of Sarah Price, the mother of Rev. Eli P. Parmer, a well kno^vn and 
aggressive minister in Kentucky. These sisters were of an old and respect- 
able Virginia family, and the Mullikins and Farmers removed to Kentucky 
contemporaneous]}:. Much of the unyielding will-power and energy so con- 
spicuous in these families, was inherited from the Prices, and was oipricelcss 
value as a factor of success during pioneer days.

CHILDREN OF JOHN MULLIKIN 

1. William Mullikin- (1), son of John^ (1), b in Virginia in the year 1790 ; 
removed with his parents to Shelby Co., Ky., when young. He m. Sarah 
Scott, daughter of George Scott, a wealthy and aristocratic So. Carolinian 
of Scottish descent, who was a follower of Daniel Boone as a pioneer in 
Kentucky. His plantation was about ten miles from Bedford, Ky., on the 
Newcastle road, and persons now living remember of visiting there when 
they were children. He was mentioned by relatives as a man of kindness 
and strict integrity, but possessed of an uncompromising will. He was a 
slave-holder. Mrs. Mullikin was small, with black eyes and dark complex- 
ion. She was a woman of great energy and Spartan courage, but of an 
amiable and refined life. Her intellectual and bodily powers remained 
quite unimpaired until old age, and when she was 85 she could ride horse- 
back as gracefully as a girl. In the company of Mrs. O'Brien, her daughter, 
and family, she went to Texas in 1872, making part of the journey by steam- 
boat. She was an honored guest of the captain and his wife for fifteen days ; 
and was spoken of as "a queenly old lady." During the voyage she kept 
a dairy of daily events which was highly prized. The overland journey from 
Jefferson to McKinney, Texas, made on horseback was very hard — they en- 
camped in tents at night — and the old lady never recovered from her fatigue. 
She d. in Dec. 1872. The family bible containing a record of births, mar- 
riages and deaths was carried with her effects and, unfortunately, was soon 
after destroyed by fire in a burning house. This must account for the 
absence of dates in the following pages. Eight children. See 6th generation. 

2. James Mullikin- (1), son of John^ (1), b. in Virginia, Jan. 14, 1788, re- 
moved to Kentucky with his parents in early life and settled in Shelby Co. 
He enlisted as a private, Sept. 18, 181 2, in the Co. of Capt. Rowland Burk, 
commanded by Col. Samuel South, and was discharged Oct. 30, 18 12. One 
of his descendants says he served under Jackson in the Co. of Capt. Gillispie, 
as one of the celebrated "squirrel hunters" (expert riflemen) of Kentucky. 
He must have enlisted a second time in 18 15. His company were conveyed 
down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans by boats, but they 
returned on foot through the wilderness amid the Indian tribes then inhab- 
iting the country. 

He m. ist, Rachel McGaha, of Irish extraction, who d. in Shelby Co., 
Ky., and he m. 2d in 1826, Sarah Burton Foursee, daughter of Silas and 
Sarah (Besley) Foursee of Newcastle, Henry Co., Ky., b. Nov. 7, 1805 ; d. 
Apr. 11, 1895, aged 89 years. C'hildren by both wives. This family were 



MULLIKINS JX SIJELliV COrNTV, KEN'irCKV. -,1;-) 



residents in Shelby, Henry, Trimble, :iiul ()lilh:un coiinlies, Kentutky, but 
in iSji) removed to Johnson Co., Ind., and settled on a creek near (now) 
Williamsburg, where they engaged in extensive farming. James .Mullikin 
suffered many hardships incident to pioneer life Ixnh in Kentucky and 
Indiana. His cabin was of logs without floors. 'I'he door was renu>ved and 
used for a table. The tire, in winter, was kindled with (lint and steel ; in 
summer, from a dry stump kept burning for that purpose. Ihe family were 
constantly annoyed by wilil animals. As the nearest grist-mill was sixty 
miles away, they pounded, or grated their corn into coarse meal. 

James Mullikin was a man of striking appearance and commanding 
l)resence. He was of stature full six feet, quite corpulent, and weighed 235 
pounds. He had a stentorian voice and remarkable physical strength. His 
eyes and hair were black, and his complexion brunette. He was of a reso- 
lute and determined temperament, and insensible to fear. A farmer by 
occupation. There were nineteen children by his two wives ; six sons and one 
daughter by the first, and eight daughters and four sons by the second. 
Kleven were b. in Kentucky ; the other eight in Johnson Co., Md. He d. 
of typhoid fever on his farm at Buckhart's Creek, Sept. 24, 1846, aged 58 
years. See 3d generation for issue. 

3. Elizabeth Mullikin- (1), daughter of John' (1), b. in So. Carolina; re- 
moved to Shelby Co., Ky., when a girl ; was m. to William Hunter and 
lived on a plantation which was cultivated by slaves, some ten miles south 
of Bedford, on the Newxastle road, and not distant from the home of her 
brother, \\'illiam Mullikin. She survived until her eight children reached 
maturity. A woman of many superior qualities, respected by a wide circle 
of acquaintances. William Hunter m. a second wife and lived to old age. 
He and Elizabeth were buried one and a half miles from Bedford. Issue 
as follows : 

I. Burton Hunter, b. Apr. 18, 1805 ; m. Rena , who is now living 

with some of her children near Bedford, Ky. James and Henry Hun- 
ter are her sons, and Mrs. JMattie Starks, her daughter.

his m., Mr. Mullikin was an engineer on a steamboat under Capt. Starr of 
Alton, 111., but, subsequently, engaged in farming near Carrollton, Green 
Co., 111. He d. in 1861. The children were scattered at the time of their 
mother's d. and in consequence of the burning of their home and its con- 
tents, they could not obtain much information concerning the family history ; 
hence the dates given are only approximate. Children named as follows : 
I. Sarah Catherine Mullikin'', b. in Jerseyville, 111., in 1845 ; m. in 
x866, Joseph Hunnewell, who d. Nov. 1900, and is now living at 
her birth-place. Two children: Theodore F., b. in 1868, now in San 
Francisco, Cal., and Verbena, living at home. 

No-i K — The surnames of the Mullikiiis on the Muster Rolls in the Adjutant General's 
office, Frankfort, Ky., are spelled Mullikin, Mnllicaii and Miilicaii. 

*I assume to say that Foursee — sometimes spelled Forshee and Forsee — is a French 
surname, and that the Kentucky family came from Oiange or Chatham Co., N. C, where 
some of them witnessed wills in the carlv days. — Autlior.

of Allison and Sarah Lawman, b. May 7, 1868. Residence, Champaign 
City, 111. He is looked upon as one of the most useful and respected citi- 
zens, and the high position he occupies in the esteem of his compatriots is 
evinced by the honors they have conferred upon him. He served as alder- 
man two years and was elected mayor on the Citizen's ticket in 1901. As 
Mr. Mullikin is a staunch Democrat and the city strongly Republican, his 
election speaks well of his local popularity. His career as mayor has been 
highly creditable to himself and satisfactory to the people. He has been 
loyal to the interests of the city, has kept abreast of affairs in the commu- 
nity, and fostered every enterprise designed for the public welfare. 

Prior to his settlement in Champaign he followed farming and managed 
a store in Bondville, 111. for several years. Since his residence in the city 
he has engaged in the real estate business as a member of the firm of Mul- 
likin & Martin. They handle farm property, make a specialty of emigration 
business and deal in extensive lands in Mississippi and Oklahoma. Mr. 
Mullikin is owner of considerable real estate and residence property in 
Champaign, and city property in Indianapolis and Alexandria, Ind. He is 
a self-made man and may be justly proud of the record he has secured. He

Capt. James Mullikin^ (1), eldest son of Capt. Thomas and Elizabeth Ellen 
(Williams) Mullikin, was b. on the old plantation at the "Forks of the 
Patuxent," Anne Arundel Co., Md., about 1765-7. He m. for his first wife 
a Miss Pettie, and as he was joint-heir with his brother Benjamin to the 
homestead, we supposed that he lived there, but others believe that he had 
an estate some twenty miles from Baltimore. In the year 181 1, he sold his 
share of " Simpson's Choice " and " Merriton's Fancy," comprised in the 
old plantation, and with his family, household goods in enclosed wagons, 
slaves, and stock removed to Kentucky. It was the springtime. In passing 
from Maryland to Kentucky it was neccessary to cross a section of Ohio, a 
free state, and the citizens along the route followed by the Mullikins, threat- 
ened vengeance upon them unless they hurried across the river. The poor 
negroes were terribly frightened, fearing the " Abolitioners" would take them 
away, and crowded close to the wagons. Families of Duvall and Terrence 
went with the Mullikins. They crossed the Ohio river from Virginia to 
Ohio, going down the north bank to Aberdeen, where they waited for favor- 
able weather ; then crossed on a ferry boat to Kentucky. They then fol- 
lowed the old buffalo trail road southward about 25 miles to Mount Tabor, 
where they settled. Here several hundred acres of land were acquired, a 
large log house flanked with enormous stone chimneys, built, and a home 
established. 

The county records show that Capt. James Mullikin sold his Mount 
Tabor farm, where " Mullikin's Inn " stood, and conveyed it by deed to 
Daniel Runnion on May 5, 182 1. This estate comprised 122 acres after he 
had sold a small parcel to the "Union church," now " Mt. Tabor church." 
He lived for a short time, before going to Indiana, in a hollow near one fork 
of Buchanan's creek ; and Robert E. Hildreth remembers having attended a 
religious service in the house (now torn down) when a boy. The records 
show that some of the deeds of Captain Mullikin were recorded in Nicholas 
Co., Ky. Tradition says he lost all of his property in Kentucky by " going 
security " for others ; and his slaves were probably taken from him by pro- 
cess of law. 

The farm of Capt. James Mullikin in Fleming Co., Ky., was about 300 
yards from the old Mt. Tabor church, and on the old state road leading from 
Blue Lick Springs and points beyond, through the Kentucky and Virginia 
mountains, to the eastern markets to which the farmers drove their fattened 
stock to be sold ; and there he kept the well and widely known " Mullikin's 
Inn," where the drovers passed the nights and fed their cattle. The old 
house is still standing in very good repair, and occupied by James Ogdon. 

One fork of Buchanan's Creek, called the " Mount Tabor Branch," flowed 
up on the south side of the Mullikin farm, while Elk creek on the north, 
headed up near the house. 

When the Mullikin family settled on their land near Mt. Tabor church, 
there was only an old log structure and a burying ground there ; but about

1823, the citizens of that locality replaced the oriojinal buildin<j with a brick 
chapel, and Richard and Uasil Mullikin helped lu make the bricks and did 
other work on the house. It is said that the wife of Capt. Mullikin, beinj^ 
an old-fashioned Methodist, used to make the walls of the old log meetinj^ 
house rinii; with her puljlic exhortations and invocations. 

Among the slaves carried from the old plantation on the Patuxent to the 
new plantation in Kentucky, was a full-blooded (niinea negro purchased of 
the slave-traders. Marv, the slave girl given his daughter, Henrietta Hil- 
dreth, by Capt. James Mullikin, was the child of his (Juinea negro. Her 
children's names were : Richard, Henry, Caroline, America and Susan Jane. 
Henry and Caroline are still living, aged respectively 60 and 58 years. 

Three solid silver spoons, on the handles of which are engraved the let- 
ters "J. A. M," are now owned by Robert E. Hildreth of Klizaville, Ky., 
and are highly prized as heirlooms that were handed down in the Mullikin 
family. It is related that Capt. Mullikin, when living in Maryland, was ac- 
customed to go from his home to Baltimore Bay to procure tish and oysters 
for his family, and that a considerable stock of the bivalves were planted 
in the home cellar, and by feeding, were kept for some time. 

Capt. James Mullikin did not return to his early home in Maryland but 
once; in 1814, he appeared with a drove of horses and mules which were 
sold to the planters round about ; then went back to the " Corncracker State" 
and was not afterwards heard from by his kindred, save by a rumor that he 
had removed to Ohio. 

He had married a second wife in Marvland named Aw Duvall,* of an 
old aristocratic family frequently connected with the Mullikins by the bolts 
of wedlock. By this union there were not less than nine children of whom 
more presently. She was a woman of fine intelligence and not unconscious 
of the social standing of her ancestors whose prestige she wished to main- 
tain. She was a devout Methodist of the old stamp who exhorted in meet- 
ings and prayed in public and at home. Her children were trained to be 
God-fearing and honest, and she left upon them the ineffaceable impress of 
her own excellent character. 

Tradition says that Capt. Mullikin was, in early life, a chivalrous, dash- 
ing fellow, fond of athletic sports and hunting, and rode to hounds with a 
reckless contempt of danger that challenged the courage of the best horse- 
men in the chase. Brave, ambitious and aspiring, he coveted military honors 
and was commissioned a captain while yet a young man. 

In the year 1834, with his wife and four younger children, he joined the 
army of emigrants and removed to Crawfordville, Montgomery Co., Ind., 
but subsequently crossed the state line and settled in Illinois, where they 
are said to have passed the remainder of their days. 

*There is a dircrepancy of opinion respecting the maiden name of Capt. James Mul- 
likin's wife. Henry C. Mullikin of ^Vood\vardville, Md.,\vho lives on the I'atuxtent plan- 
tation, said her name was Ann IIowakd. Jessie H. Mullikin of Ewing, Ky., says her 
name was Su.san Howard. James S. Mullikin of Willmore, Ky., believed her name was 
Eliza Duvall. Robert E. Hildreth of Elizaville, Ky., supposed her name was A.\N 
DuvALL, and finds that she signed her husband's deeds as Ann Mullican. Mr. Hil- 
dreth says a family named Duvall moved from Maryland to Kentucky with the MuUikin's 
and settled near them ; and the children of " Capt. Jim," called them "uncle " and "aunt ;" 
but Mrs. Duvall may have been a Howard and a sister of Mrs. Mullikin. The Duvall 
children, cousins of the Mullikins, were named Marcus, Joseph, Eckcaui, Thomas, Allu\

CHILDREN OF JAMES AND ANN DUVAL,!.. 

1. William Mullikiir ( 1), eldest son of James' (1), b. in Anne Arundel Co., 
Md., Nov. 7, 17S9; m. March 28, 1816, in Shelby Co., Ky., Dorcas Kin- 
KADE,* and d. in Montgomery Co., Ind., Apr. 3, 1855. He was grown to 
maturity when, in the spring of 18 11, his father and family removed from 
Maryland to Kentucky. He seems to have settled some distance from his 
parents, in Shelby Co., Ky. The army rolls at Franklin, Ky., and the U.S. 
pension records and documents on file at the Auditor's department, Wash- 
ington, D.C., disclose the fact that this William Mullikin enlisted Nov. 10, 
18 14, as a private in Capt. James Ford's Co. of the 13th Ky. Reg. of militia 
for one year, and was discharged May 10, 1S15. He was wounded in the 
left thigh at the battle of New Orleans. He moved to Brown's Valley, 
Montgomery Co., Ind., Sept. 12, 1831, where he cleared his farm and where 
he resided the remainder of his days. His homestead was near the "Old 
Freedom " Baptist church of which he was an honored deacon, and his wife 
an active member. Both were buried in the " Old Hickory graveyard," 
some two miles north of their home. 

Mr. W. W. Stewart, whose father and uncle served in the war of 18 12 
with William Mullikin, informs me that he had a good farm in Brown's town- 
ship ; that his house, part of logs and part framed, was considered to be a 
comfortable pioneer home ; that he was of medium size ; that he always lived 
well ; that his wife was small, very enterprising, an excellent cook, and a 
tailoress by trade who, like her namesake, Dorcas of the bible, " made coats 
and garments." Mr. Mullikin was a plain, old-fashioned man, peaceable 
and honest. His house was on the road leading from Crawfordsville to 
Deer Mill, ten miles southwest from the former place. 

On March 23, 1849, he applied for a pension and was allowed $8.00 a 
per month. His last payment was made through the Indianapolis agency, 
March 4, 1855. As no widow applied for pension his wife evidently pre- 
deceased him. Children, of whom more with 3d generation, named William, 
Preston CaiToll, James Galey, Addison, John Kinkade, Hugh, Mary, and 
America. Two d. in infancv. 

2. Adaline Mullikin- (1), eldest daughter of James' (1), b. at the "Forks 
of the Patuxent " in Anne Arundel Co., Ind., about 1790 ; went to Fleming 
Co., Ky., with her parents in 181 1 ; was m. to Peter Moss, and removed, 
some say, to Missouri. She has been lost sight of by her relatives in Ken- 
tucky. Supposed to have had children. 

*The wife of this William Mullikin was a near relative of the celebrated Christian 
minister, Rev. William Kinkade, so well known throughout the south and west in early 
pioneer days. He traveled extensively for many years, and was the author of a valuable 
l)Ook, titled " Kinkade's Bible Doctrine." Tradition says he was many times a welcome 
guest in William MuUikin's home in Kentucky. The Kinkades moved from the back- 
woods of Pennsylvania to Kentucky, in 1786. Elder Jacob Kinkade a Missionary I'.aptist 
preacher from Kentucky, and a brother of Dorcas, was a neighbor to William Mullikin in 
Brown's township.

Co., Ky., and settled near the famous battle ground on Licking river, where 
the Whites were defeated by the Indians. Here the MuUikins resided the 
remainder of their days as farmers. He was a land and stock dealer, an 
officer, auctioneer, and merchant. He was a slaveholder. In early life he 
was employed with his brothers, Richard and Basil, on the great bridge 
that spanned the Licking river. Later he engaged in land speculation, 
acquired an extensive plantation and purchased slaves for its cultivation. 
He lost heavily in consequence of signing a sheriff's bond, but saved some 
money and engaged in merchandising, continuing till he d. in 1894. His 
wife predeceased him in 1S84. He was a " heavy-set man of fair complex- 
ion." The old house in Robertson Co., Ky., where he lived, is still standing. 
Eleven children. See 3d generation. 

7. John Mullikin'- (1), second son of James^ (1), b. say 1813, near Mt. Ta- 
bor, Fleming Co., Ky. He remained a bachelor for many years and run a 
freight wagon between Mayesville on the Ohio river and Lexington, Ky. 
He finall)^ went to Harrison Co., Ky., where he m. Susan Wolf, but lived 
for many years near the home of his brother Benjamin in Robertson Co., 
Ky. He returned to Harrison Co., however, late in life and continued his 
residence there until killed by his runaway horses. The rattling of a load 
of poles upon his wagon frightened the spirited animals ; he lost control of 
them, fell under the wheels, and was found dead. John Mullikin was a man 
of originality and something of a wit. A very worthy young man named 
Fox courted one of his daughters and would have married her, but her father 
objected for the reason that there was " enough of wild blood in the family 
already, and he did not believe in crossing the wolf and fox." He was about 
75 years of age. Eight children named as follows: Leu<is,fa7nes, TJwvias, 
Samuel, Barbara, Ellen, N'ancy and Sarah. See 3d generation. 

8. Richard Mullikin'- (1), fourth son of James^ (1), b. in Fleming Co., Ky., 
181 5. Spent his young days on the homestead. He and Basil, his brother, 
assisted in making the bricks for Mount Tabor church, besides doing con- 
siderable other work on the new building. In 1834, in company with his 
parents and a brother and two sisters, he removed to Crawfordville, Mont- 
gomery Co., Ind., where he lived until, with his parents, he crossed the state 
line and settled in Illinois. 

9. Basil Mullikin- (1), fifth son of James^ (l)jb. in Fleming Co., Ky., 18 16, 
spent his early days on his father's plantation. When the bridge was built 
across Licking river on the noted Maysville and Lexington turnpike, he 
turned a grindstone for sharpening the workmen's tools at a wage of $100 
per month, and scrupulously saved his money to invest in cheap land in 
Indiana and Illinois. With his parents and others of the family he removed 
to Crawfordville, Montgomery Co., Ind., in 1834, and thence to Illinois. 
Basil was a man of good judgment, prudence, and industry, and acquired a 
handsome estate. 

Note. — Many letters of inquiry were forwarded to the descendants of John MuUikm, 
and the family genealogy requested, but they have not furnished any information ; conse- 
quently, the author is not in the fault. Relatives have said that the sons of John were 
m. and settled near, if not on, his homestead farm at a place called Renaker, in Harrison 
Co., Ky., and it is supposed that numerous descendants are still living in that vicinity. 
Samuel Mullikin is reported to have d. from injuries received in a walking match.

that lames Mullikin whose name stands at the head of the " Western Shore " 
branch of the family. This James was probably twice m. and we know that 
he had children whose names were not recorded in his will ; and these may 
have become the heads of branches settled in other sections of the state. 
We have found several early wills at Annapolis, containing the names of 
Mullikin children who have not been accounted for ; and we may assume with 
plausibility that some of the sons reached maturity and were the progenitors 
of families whose genealogical connection with the parent stock has not been 
ascertained. Montgomery Co., to which this family removed, adjoins I'rince 
George Co., their place of nativity, and they continued to dwell where com- 
munication was kept up between them and their kindred. 

They had their children baptized in the Episcopal church and were prob- 
ablv communicants of that denomination. After the wide-spread Methodist 
reformation occurred in Maryland, many of the Muiiikins were affiliated with 
that church, and their posterity have continued their allegiance with that 
body. 

There are several Mullikin wills at Rockville, the seat of Montgomery 
Co., that might disclose some interesting data relating to the genealogy of 
this branch of the family, but every attempt to procure abstracts has failed. 

The Montgomery Muiiikins were planters and slaveholders, and their 
descendants are farmers. 

After the American Revolution, in which two at least bore arms under 
Washington, many of the families removed westward and established homes 
on new soil in North Carolina and Kentucky where they acquired extensive 
territorial estates and becaiTie successful pioneers, good citizens, and state 
builders. 

But one son of the first Archibald Mullikin remained on the old Montgom- 
ery " stamping ground," and all who have been found there during the re- 
search for information are his descendants. 



Lewis Mullikin' ( 1), parents names unknown, was descended from James 
Mullikin whose name stands at the head of the " Western Shore " family of 
Maryland ; probably his grandson. He was b. in Prince George Co., about 
1725-30. His wife was named Marv. They were evidently Episcopalions 
as they had their children baptized in St. John's church of the Piscataway 
parish, where the records (with other Muiiikins) were found. In i754-5> they 
removed to the adjoining Co. of Montgomery, and no later entry appears in 
the St. John's register. He was a planter and held slaves. No records of 
deaths. Children, as far as known, named as follows :

MARYLAND FAMILY. 



John MuUican^ (1 ), whose parentage is unknown, may be properly designated 
the head of this branch of the Kentucky family. His descendents are quite 
sure that he was a native of North Carolina, but the author inclines to the 
belief that he was born in Montgomery Co., Md., as this branch of the 
" Western Shore " family of Mullikins were in the habit of spelling their sur- 
name " Mullican." He was, however, a resident of South Carolina at the 
time of his removal to Casey Co., Ky. He may have been one of the "twenty 
brothers ' of whom tradition says eighteen reached maturity and became the 
lusty progenitors of a mighty Mullican host in the southern states. It seems 
probable that he was a relative, in no remote degree, of the other Mullikin 
and Mullican families that removed from North to South Carolina ; and we 
know they originated in Maryland. 

The Mullikins were clanish, and this John may have been induced by his 
kinsmen who preceded him, to remove to Kentucky. While investigating 
this man's history, for some time it seemed probable that he and a John 
Mullikin, a soldier of the Revolution who settled in Shelby Co., Ky., were 
identical. Both were in the state at contemporary dates. A more careful 
study of the family records in comparison with data found in the archives 
at Frankfort, Ky., and in the army rolls and pension records at Washing- 
ton, has convinced the author that they were not identical. Although the 
names Mullikin and Mullicafi were used interchangeably in the public re- 
cords through errors in the spelling by scribes, it is significant that the 
families themselves have universally continued to use the orthography by 
which their immediate ancestors were designated. The posterity of John 
Mullikin who removed from Spotsylvania Co., Va., to Shelby Co., Ky., 
and now so numerous in the west, spell their name Midlikin ; while the 
descendants of the John who settled in Casey Co., Ky., have spelled theirs 
Mullican. 

This John Mullican was living in Casey Co., Ky., as early as 1818, and 
is supposed to have come from North Carolina in company with his son 
Solomon several years previous to that date. He was located on Knoblick 
Creek, in the Green river valley and on the county road between Somerset 
and Middleburg. His grandchildren remember the ruins of the foundation 
of his house and of playing in childhood days with fragments of the bricks 
which once composed his chimney. The farm is now owned by Mr. Leslie 
Carman. Polly Elmore, an oracle in the family, says John Mullican went 
to Warren Co., Tenn., with his sons John and William, but his descendants 
there have no knowledge of his living in that state. His widow, however, 
whose maiden name is believed to have been Nancy Ann Allen, d. at the 
home of her son John in Warren Co., Tenn., when very aged. 

This pair had no less than eight children whose names and history, as 
far as known, will follow. In but few instances, have any vital records been 
found in this family and, consequently, their genealogy will be deficient in 
dates of births, marriages and deaths.

This is a branch of the Mullikin family so early settled in Maryland and 
a descendant, Mr. Joseph Laboon of (ieorj^ia, assumes that they were of 
Welsh extraction, a derivation not elsewhere heard of, and probably an error. 
Benjamin Mullikin of Pendleton Co., N. C. says his ancestors were Scotch- 
Irish and that they came from Ireland to Virginia first, but soon removed 
to North Carolina. As there are some reasons for believing that the Mul- 
likins in Maryland removed from Virginia, this tradition relating t<j the 
North Carolinian branch may be true. It is said that the father of the first 
Benjamin Mullikin who settled in South Carolina had twenty sons of whom 
eisrhteen attained their maioritv and settled in different Southern States. 
Some are said to have spelled their surname "■ Mullican." I am now strongly 
inclined to the belief that the numerous families named " Millican " and 
"Mullican," so widely scattered in Georgia, Mississijipi, Tennessee, and 
Texas, are of this stock, for they hold the tradition that their ancestors 
came originally from South Carolina. It will be seen that some small off- 
shoots of the old Maryland family spell the surname " Mullican." 

Benjamin Mullikin, a son of James and Charity Mullikin, was b. in Prince 
George Co., Md. as early as 1740, and removed to North Carolina when a 
young man. He m. Margaret Jarvis, a native of Virginia, b. in 1766, 
within a few miles of Yorktown, and was about fifteen years of age when 
Conwallis surrendered (1781), and heard the musketry. She was m. about 
1787, and d. near Anderson Court House, S. C, in 1838, aged 72 years. 
Mr. Mullikin was a planter and d. where he first sat down, about 1842. 
These had a family consisting of six sons and four daughters viz : /amcs, 
JV/V/iaw, John, Benjamin, Samuel, Lezois, Nancy, Folly, Emily and Jenny.

CHILDREN OF BKNJAMIN AND MARGARET JARVIS. 

I. James Mullikin- (1), eldest son of Benjamin^ (1), was b. in North Caro- 
lina, Nov. 9, 1794; m. Sept. 23, 1817, Malinda Norton who was b. Nov. 
30, 1799, and settled on the homestead near Anderson County Court House. 
The following extract from a declaration for pension on file in the U.S pen- 
sion ortice at Washington, D.C., contains much pertinent information: 

State of South Carolina ) 

- ss 
County of Anderson. \ 

Upon this 29th day of April, 1871, personally appeared before me, A. O. 
Norris, Judge of Probate for County and State aforesaid, a Court of Record. 
James Mullikin, aged 76 years, a resident of the County and State afore- 
said, who being duly sworn according to law, states that he is married, that 
his wife's name is Malinda Mullikin, to whom he was married at .\nderson 
County, S. C, on the 23d of September, 181 7 ; that he served in the military 
for the period of 69 days in service of the United States, in the war of 181 2 ; 
that he is the identical James Mullikin who volunteered, or was enrolled in 



014 MULLIKIXS OF ANDERSON COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. 

Captain Moses Kelly's Company, Col. Ruben Nash's Regiment, Pinckney's 
Brigade, at Pendleton Village, on or about the first day of February, 1814, 
and was honorably discharged at Fort Hawkins on or about the 15th day 
of June, A.D., 1814 ; that he was in the cavalry service. After organization 
was marched from Pendleton, S. C. to Fort Hawkins in the State of Georgia, 
which was done in about a week, was there drilled about three weeks, then 
crossed the river into the then Creek Nation en route for Horse Shoe Bend, 
building forts on an average of every 39 miles on the route, and arrived in 
hearing of the battle fought at that place by General Jackson, and joined 
his army the second day after the battle, and marched to the head of the 
Alabama River and built Fort Jackson ; and having scoured the country 
with scouting parties, and after spending from 4 to 7 weeks at Fort Jackson 
we were marched back to Fort Hawkins and there discharged as before 
stated. That his discharge papers were regularly executed and delivered to 
him, which have since been lost or misplaced. That he has received for 
said services land warrents under the Acts of Congress in such case made 
and provided. That he at no time during the late rebellion against the 
authority of the United States adhered to the cause of the enemies of the 
Government, giving them aid or comfort, except. as compelled by law. 



The Adj. General's report on file with the above mentioned case shows 
that James Mullikin enlisted as a corporal, January 29, 1814, and was dis- 
charged July 20, 18 1 4. He received a pension of $8.00 per month from 
February 14, 187 1. He died April 21, i888. 

Malinda Mullikin received a pension as his widow of $12.00 per month, 
and in her application for said pension she states that James Mullikin was 
born at Slabtown, S. C, complexion fair, eyes blue.

The compiler has found several traditions in this family concerning its 
origin and the original spelling of the surname. An intelligent old lady 
whose clear memory reaches back to her grandfather, one of the original set- 
tlers in Brunswick Co., N.C., declares without any hesitation that her an- 
cestors came from Maryland, and her statement is probably correct. There 
were plenty of sons in the Maryland family of Mullikens who could have been 
the progenitors of this brancli ; besides, we know that cadets of that race 
removed to some parts of North Carolina where their descendants still re- 
main. And this is not the only branch of the old Maryland family whose 
members have changed the spelling of their surname, as will be seen by 
reference to the chapter on surnames. 

This family are tall, rawboned and of fair complexion. They are usually 
freehearted and readv to relieve the distressed when able to do so. None 
of them were slave owners. They were opposed to secession to a man, but 
after the state had gone out of the Union, they embraced the cause of the 
South and with characteristic bravery distinguished themselves on many 
battle fields during the unfortunate fratracidal struggle. 

In politics during Ante Uellum times the Mullikins were old line Whigs, 
but after the war they were members of what was known as the *' Conser- 
vative Party." As time wore on this gradually transformed itself into a 
" Bourbon Democracy," a party so reckless and inconsistent in practices 
that, today, few Millikens can be found in its ranks. Many of them, how- 
ever, are affiliated with the Western or Populist movement. 

Religiously, the Brunswick County Millikens have been Baptists and 
Methodists. 



Benjamin Milliken' (l), parent's names unknown, received a grant of land 
in Brunswick Co., N. C, consisting of one hundred acres lying on and in- 
cluding part of Juniper Creek, date Nov. 12, 1793. The following description 
of the estate was w-ritten by William Scott Milliken Esq., a member of this 
family, who is perfectly familiar with the locality. The Benjamin Milliken 
estate consists of one hundred acres lying at the confluence of Juniper Creek 
which has its rise far back to the eastward in the great "Green Swamp," 
and empties into the Waccaman river, a short distance below the old home- 
stead. The river and creek forming the western and northern boundaries 
of the estate, is crossed by the river road, a highway established by law. The 
plantation is also crossed by a road owned by the Gardner i\: Lacy Lumber 
company. The nearest town is the small hamlet called Excelsior, lying 
two miles to the southward. The soil is a sandy formation, the surface gen- 
erally level. The premises have been occupied continuously by the Milliken 
family up to fifteen years ago, when by voluntary sale it passed into the 
hands of a Mr. Inman who is now its owner. The following crops have been 
produced on the land, to wit : corn, peas, sweet potatoes, rice, rye and to- 
bacco, with fair success. Benjamin Milliken was twice m. The name of 



618 MILLIKENS OF BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. 

his first wife is not certainly known, but she had a son, John Mil/ike?!, 
who went to South CaroHna. This woman d. soon after the birth of her 
child, and her husband m. Betsy Hargrove, by whom he had five sons and 
one daughter, named Benjamin, Samuel, Andrew, Isaac, Hezekiah and Anna, 
of whom with 2d generation. 

Samuel Milliken (l), brother of the preceding, received a grant of land, 
Nov. 12, 1793, the same clay on which Benjamin's was granted, consisting 
of one hundred acres on the west side of Alligator Creek, two miles from 
its mouth, which is a tributary of Juniper Creek. This land is part sandy 
and part a stiff clay and well adapted to corn, potatoes, rye and tobacco. 
The estate is crossed by a public highway known as the " Big Necke Road." 
The scenery around this old homestead is very inviting in the springtime 
when the woodland is joyous with the sweet notes of feathered songsters 
so numerous in this section, the surface carpeted with verdant green, the at- 
mosphere freighted with the aroma of a thousand wild flowers, the tinkling 
of bells, the lowing of cows, the droning of honey-bees, all contributing 
according to their order, to present an aspect truly pleasing to such as love 
natural scenery ; but when the hoar-frost of grim winter comes the scene is 
changed, the verdure disappears and all those features so much in evidence 
in the spring and summer are banished and a dreary loneliness pervades the 
neighborhood. Such was the chosen place of abode of one of the first Mil- 
likens who settled in Brunswick Co., N. C. Samuel Milliken's wife's maiden 
name is not known. He had issue : Satnuel, Alexander, Moses, Sai ah, Mary, 
Betsey, Kate and Lydia. See 2d generation.

The name has been spelled in no less than three forms by branches of this 
family, and the compiler of this volume is inclined to believe they were an 
offshoot of the old Mullikin stock so early planted in Maryland, some of whom 
are known to have used the name " Mullican." The records of John Millican 
are found in an old bible now owned by his descendants, and his children's 
surnames are spelled the same; but many of their posterity spell the name 
"Milligan." The derivation of this family is traced, according to tradition, to 
Scotland. The records are incomplete,but such as have been found will appear. 

James Milligan said to have come from Scotland, was early settled in Cecil 
Co., Md., where he owned lands. He had several brothers who were lost 
trace of about 1812. He removed to Steubenville, O., with wife Mary in 
1800. In 180 1, sold lands in Cecil Co., Md., and appointed one David 
Swezy to act as his agent in said county. He d. in Steubenville in 1802. 
He left one or more children in Maryland. He executed a will Nov. 11, 
1797, (now on file in Steubenville, Jefferson Co., O.) and on Apr. 30, 1802, 
made a codicil thereto; will probated May 26, 1802. He gave son John 
part of his farm and left ;^2oo in trust for Mary his wife. The tract of land 
owned by this ancestor was called " Milligans Hill," and is between Aikin 
and Leslie, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.

He was a member of the Constitutional convention in 1802, when Ohio be-

moved to a farm in 1816. In 1822, he carried a "call," on horseback, from 
Steubenville, O., to Princeton, N. J., for Rev. C. C. Beatty, D.D., who came 
to the former town and remained until his death in 1883. By his father's 
will, John got part of his farm and ^^"200 to hold in trust for his mother, 
Mary Milligan ; and received ^40 at her death. He d. Dec. 2, 1832, and 
his remains are now in a churchyard at New Hagerstown, O., where they were 
removed in 1858. Children's names will presently appear.

Md., July 24, 1767 ; was m. there about 1790 to Daniel Gillespie, and had

PENNSYLVANIA FAMILY. 



m. 



TT' 






This may be properly called a migratory family, for the early generations 
were wandered in the wilderness longer than were the Hebrews before reach- 
ing the " Land of Promise." From the time when William Millikan left his 
home in Scotland, or the north of Ireland, and came to Pennsylvania with 
his kindred of the same name, this family have been singularly itinerate. 
\\'e do not know his motive in coming to America at so early a day in the 
history of the Colonies. He had lived in Chester Co., Pa. a number of 
years surrounded by other families of the same surname, but we do not 
know what degree of relationship existed between them. When the great 
wave of Quaker migration began to move from Pennsylvania southward 
about the middle of the i8th century, William Millikan removed to then 
Rowan county, North Carolina, and settled there among many of his old 
Quaker neighbors. 

There seems to have been an inherent unrest in the family. They soon 
found themselves in touch with slavery, an institution despised by the 
Quakers. The sandy " pine soil " of their farms that produced abundant 
harvests when first broken was soon exhausted by ungenerous husbandry, 
and hundreds of acres were abandoned and relinquished again to the domain 
of nature. It has been said that the corn-rows can now be traced through 
groves of pine where were cultivated fields a hundred years ago. The sec- 
ond generation had scarcely settled down to domestic life in their new log 
houses when they were filled with discontent by hearing of almost inter- 
minable tracts of rich " bottom lands," and forests abounding with possums 
and wild turkeys, beyond the mountains in Tennessee. Then these families, 
comprising whole neighborhoods, sold out, or abandoned their farms, " pulled 
up stakes," and with their children, cattle and household gear turned their 
faces westward. 

There were at that tiine no roads worthy of the name after reaching the 
mountains, and their experiences of hardships were extremely trying when 
ascending the almost precipitous steeps. 

Teams were disconnected and doubled up while wagons were left be- 
hind ; then they went back and drew the wagons up in turn. When descend- 
ing the steep mountain sides both hind wheels of their wagons were locked, 
and trees with all their branches on were chained to the rear end of their 
wagons to impede the velocity of movement and break concussion when they 
reached the bottom. 

Their horses were galled by the wooden hnmes in which they drew the 
heavy laden, lumbering wagons along the rough winding roads, and had to 
be turned out among the foothills to heal and rest. During such inter- 
ruptions in their journey the families drew their wagons into a circle, built 
their campfires in the centre, and waited until they could resume their on- 
ward march. 

We can fancy these grave and austere fathers and mothers sitting in the 
dim light of their evening fires while weird shadows were cast upon their 



\

features, bowing their heads in silent prayer before going to rest in their 
long wagons; and their conversation interspersed with their conventional 
" thee," "thy " and " thou." 

Some heads of families hail crossed the mountains on horseback the 
year previous, and cleared patches of land and ])ut up log cabins ; others 
had no shelter but their covered wagons till lantls were alloted, locations 
chosen, and rude houses built. 

Almost as soon as the families comprising the Lost Creek settlement had 
established themselves on their lands, arrangements were made to provide 
places for worship and schools. John Mills, wlio m. Sarah Millikan, do- 
nated land for a meeting house, schoolhouse and burial place. A rude 
sanctuary was laid up of hewed timber and a schoolhouse, still standing, 
was built of logs. The laths for this meeting house were split from rift 
chestnut aiul the shingles, hand shaved, were fastened to the roof with 
wooden pegs in gimlet holes. Oiled paper was used as a substitute for glass 
in the schoolhouse, and the seats were of hewed slabs. • Their log houses 
had puncheon Hoors, and the few boards used for tables and cupboards were 
cut out by hand with whipsaws. 

Here again these peace-loving Quakers were compelled to witness the 
cruelties of slavery. As soon as the wilderness had been opened to the sun- 
light, slaveholders sat down beside them, and the unhunan treatment of 
the poor negroes by their masters was too much to be endured. Many sold 
out or abandoned their farms and removed to Indiana, and to the " Miami 
Country," now in (^hio. The community in Indiana was called the "Ten- 
nessee Settlement," becau.se composed principally of families from that state. 

About this time the Northwest Territory, now in Ohio, was opened for 
settlement and those who had means in the Randolph County Colony, pur- 
chased extensive tracts of land there for their sons. 

It mav be asked, " How did the families in those isolated settlements 
hear from their kindred in North Carolina and in Tennessee ?" In answer we 
can only say that the Quaker preachers, being imbued with a warm mission- 
ary spirit, w-ent everywhere to plant the truth — and carry the mail. From 
a bundle of old letters now on my desk, written in the cabins of the Milli- 
kans in the Lost Creek settlement and the Miami Country and carried hun- 
dreds of miles through the wilderness in Quaker preachers' saddle-bags to 
families in Randolph Co., N. C, I find that the means of communicating 
intelligence were inadequate, and children who had removed to Ohio did not 
hear of their parents death for many months, and then only by letters car- 
ried by some traveling Quaker preacher. The provisions of a will in which 
legacies were awaiting them were not known to the heirs for months after 
the death of the testator. John Mullikan was not paid his share of the 
money devised to him by his grandfather's will made in Randolph Co., 
N. C. in 1818, until 1847; then one of the executors made a journey to 
Ohio and faithfully performed his duty. 

After their journeys to Ohio and Indiana, these Quaker preachers vis- 
ited from house to house among their kindred and old neighbors, and dwelt 
Avith enthusiasm upon their descriptions of the lands, timber, and water 
powers of the " Miami Country." When visiting their kindred in the set- 
tlement at Lost Creek, these wandering preachers told around their hearth- 
stones the same stories of the natural aclvantages offered to settlers in the 



(332 MILLIKANS IN RANDOLPH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. 

new territory visited by them. They were the heralds who led on the van- 
guard of settlement ; the messengers and mail carriers of a pioneer com- 
munity. In their leathern saddlebags and wallets were carried from the 
sons and daughters who had moved to Tennessee and Ohio, wafer sealed 
letters addressed to their parents in Randolph county, North Carolina. A 
bundle of these old, faded, fingermarked letters, written on coarse, water- 
marked foolscap paper, with their geometric folds and broken red wafers, 
are now upon my desk — mute but impressive links between the old days and 
the new. They were inscribed by toiling hands with quills plucked from 
the wings of wild turkeys, and were perused with trembling lips and stained 
with the tears of the dear old fathers and mothers ; they have been pre- 
served with sacred care and handed down through six generations of the 
Millikan family to fall, at last, only temporarily, into the hands of the far 
away historian and compiler of this volume. In these old epistles many 
pathetic incidents were recorded, many endearing expressions dictated, many 
loving sentiments expressed, and affectionate regards conveyed to parents, 
brothers, sisters, and more distant kindred. Much was written descriptive 
of the advantages of the new country, the character of the timber, the 
quality of the soil, the available water powers, the abundance of wild game 
waiting to be transferred from the forest to the bakepan, and the fruits 
spontaneous ; the prices of land, the conditions of payment, the distances 
to mill and market, the quality of the "limewater " and manner of domes- 
tic life. 

Many of the sons and daughters who left Randolph and Guilford counties 
in North Carolina for Lost Creek and the settlements in Ohio and Indiana, 
had looked upon the faces and homes of their parents for the last time. 
In a few instances visits were made on horseback to the old homes in North 
Carolina and Tennessee, but the years had flown and many loved faces and 
forms were not seen. 

.Sctttcment at l^ost Crcch, ^cnn. 

In the central valley between the French Broad and Holston rivers in 
East Tennessee, is Lost Creek. This stream is fed by springs, flows through 
the valley westward, sinks and runs under Mahoney hill, coming again to 
the surface near the Holston river, of which it forms a considerable tribu- 
tary. The peculiarity of the stream, running under ground, has attached 
to it the name of Lost Creek ; and this also applies to the valley. The 
Clinch mountains may be seen in the north, the Bay mountains in the south, 
and a mass of the fag-ends of creation around them in form of ridges and 
craigs. The scenery is wild, rugged and grand, and the climate delightful 
and conducive to health. 

We have no knowledge of the inducement that impelled so many Quaker 
families to remove from North Carolina to the Lost Creek valley — then a 
wilderness. It was necessary for the sons and daughters of the remarkably 
prolific families in the counties of Chatham and Guilford to seek for homes, 
and they turned their longing eyes westward where wild lands were cheap 
and open to settlement. Moreover, these families were nearly all connected 
by ties of blood, and " birthright members " of the Quaker church. 

John Mills, who m. Sarah Millikan, was one of the flrst who emigrated

and crossed the mountain wall that separated \orlh ( irolina from reniicsNcc. 
In company with William Millikaii, his brother-in-law, he lirst followeii the 
west-guiding-trail on horseback and visited the Lost Creek neighborhood 
on a prospecting tour. Like the faithful spies, Caleb and Joshua, who went 
to view the " Land of Promise," aiuiently, these, on their return \u North 
Carolina, brought a good report. It was a land Ihnviiig with iioiu-y and 
wild turkeys. Fancy paints the picture of the home coming, and the group 
gatheretl around the wide stone fireplaces in the (Quaker homes in Chatham 
county listening to the tales of adventures on the road and descriptions of 
the country, timber, land and water. The soil was pronounced of rich 
quality, the water pure antl impregnated with limestone, and wild game 
plentiful. Proprietors of the territory upon which the young families 
contemplated founding new homes were communicated with, terms of pur- 
chaseascercained, and the topic absorbed the attention of the community 
in two counties. Preparations for the departure were hastily made. Strong 
wagons with lumbering wheels and jingling lynch pins were the primitive 
"Prairie Schooners." The horses were in rude harness, wcMiin-j^ wooden 
hames. 

John Mills, with his wife Sarah Millikan, removed from Chatham county, 
North Carolina to Lost Creek in the year 1784. They took their horses, 
cattle, and farming tools with them. The oldest sons drove the cows and 
sheep. Homespun yarn was carried and the good mothers were knitting 
stockings for their husbands and sons, seated in the jolting wagons as they 
journeyed. When night fell, fires were kindled, kettles suspended on forks 
and wooden cranes, and food cooked. The women and chiltlren slept in 
the wagons ; the father and oldest sons upon beds of cedar boughs. They 
were awakened by the gobbling of hundreds of wild turkeys, fed their jaded 
horses, ate the morning meal, and resumed their journey. They then fol- 
lowed the " wilderness road " which, probably, all who removed to Tennesse 
traveled. Starting at Greensborough, they went west to Winston ; followed 
up the river valley to Mt. Airy; crossed the Blue Ridge mountains and New 
river to Abington, Virginia; thence southwest into Tennessee where P^ristol 
now stands ; over a sinuous route through the " hill country " near the 
source of the Holston river ; then onward to Elizabethton, Jonesboro, and 
Greenville ; through Bull's Gap in the mountains to Morristown ; to Mossy 
Creek and then to Lost Creek. 

John Mills left his family at a Quaker settlement in Greene county, and 
taking his older sons, one of whom, William, was then fifteen, and built a 
cabin about one mile and a half east of where Lost Creek sinks under .Ma- 
honey Hill. Here they cleared ten acres and planted a crop. William was 
hunter and housekeeper. Soon after the remaining members of the family 
followed, and the new home became an established institution. Old neigh- 
bors and kindred families soon followed from North Carolina, and the 
settlement grew quite rapidly. The heavy forests disappeared, fields ex- 
panded, cabins were multiplied, and peace prevailed. 

In front of the Lost Creek meeting house, south, is the graveyard in a 
grove of cedars. The graves are marked by slabs of rough sandstone, only 
a few bearing inscriptions. Here many of the Millikans and their kindre 1 
rest from their labors while gentle winds sing their requiem in the trees 
above their graves.

PREAMBLE. Three pioneers of the Milliken family sat down in North Caro- 
lina. We are not dependent upon tradition for our knowledge of their 
existence there. Old documents, public and personal, mark their footprints 
upon the sands of time. Letters containing many names written by the 
pioneers, yellowed with age and stained with tears and finger-marks, have 
been preserved with sacred care ; letters of considerable length pregnant 
with particulars relating to removals and settlements, with dates, which 
establish genealogical connections. Several early wills made by heads of 
families contain many names of children and of those who intermarried. 
Extensive research, however, in Pennsylvania and North Carolina fails to 
reveal any information relating to the ancestry of the heads of the three 
great families. The tax-lists of Chester county — some are missing — show 
that from 1739 to 1763, seven persons who bore the Milliken name owned 
estates there ; and we naturally inquire how did it happen that so many 
Mil likens — the surname was spelt in a variety of forms — should have ap- 
peared in this Quaker neighborhood contemporaneously .'' Some mutual 
interest must have brought them together, and we reasonably assume that 
they were relatives who had removed from some distant locality. All had 
attained their majority and were Yoemen. As some were designated "un- 
married," we suppose they were young men. One only, Richard Milliken, 
was called a "Renter." Another, George Milliken, was styled "Inmate." 
The name Patrick is a hint that points to Ireland as his place of nativity, 
or the home of his ancestors. The name Moses which appears on the tax- 
list from 1753 to 1763, is not common in the Milliken families; it is of 
frequent occurance, however, in the branch settled in Brunswick Co., N. C, 
but an intelligent old lady down there assumes, without any doubt or hesi- 
tancy, that her grandfather and granduncle were from Maryland. 

The most singular circumstance concerning this group of Millikens in 
Chester Co. was their disappearance from the locality almost simultaneously. 
Whither did they journey ; where pitch their moving tents .'' Examination 
of the county records of more recent dates fails to reveal the names of their 
posterity. Like a flock of birds they seem to have risen with one accord 
and flown away. One only has been traced with certainty. We know that 
during the great Quaker migration to the South, William Millikan and his 
family went to Rowan, now Randolph Co., N. C. Numerous letters written 
by him have been found, but not in one instance does he mention any Mil- 
likan save his own son, and we have no evidence of the removal with him 
of any person bearing the name. His discendants have been traced. We 
find the name of a James Milliken on the Chester county tax-list in 1753 
and 1754. Knowing that a person of this name removed from Chester to 
Westmoreland county about this time, we imagine that they were identical, 
but we have no proof. The name of George Millikan designated "of Ken- 
net, Inmate," appears on the ta.x-list in 1763. The George Milligan who

had a grant of land on C'hartier's ("reek, Washington Co., I'a., in i7«6, 
called " Milligan's Hrt'wery," may have been the same ; hut |)root is wanting. 

It is not reasonable to suppose that these seven n>en, having reached their 
majority and had acquired estates upon which they paid taxes for twenty 
years, all died issueless; and we have no hesitancy in assuming that they had 
families whose descendants are now living somewhere within our broad 
domain. 

Turning our attention again to North Carolina, we shall tind that William 
Millikan and Charles Milliken were living in Chatham antl Randolph coun- 
ties, adjoining, as no distant neighbors, side-by-side, as many as si.xttrn vttin: 
Shall we believe that their .settlement so near each other was accidental .' 
Family tradition says that they were intimate in association and that their 
descendants claimed to be relatives. They certainly must have been ac- 
quainted, as William Millikan was a land surveyor and well known in .sev- 
eral counties where he served under the agent of Lord Cranville. They 
may have been brothers who had emigrated from Ireland at dilTerent times 
and were .separated for some years until they settled near each other in 
North Carolina. We must leave the family history somewhat in obscurity. 
The citations of evidence as presented seems worth preserving and we record 
it for what it signifies. 

From an extensive correspondence extending to every known family of 
the name, and a study of their temperaments, habits, physical types, busi- 
ness methods, etc., I am more and more impressed with the strong resem- 
blance between the descendants of William Millikan who settled in Ran- 
dolph Co., N. C, and the families settled in \\'ashington, Westmoreland, 
Huntington, Mercer and Juniata counties in Pennsylvania. The majority 
of the men, especially of the earlier generations, have been tall, rawboned, 
muscular and of fair and medium complexion. They were men of motive 
temperaments and many possessed great natural mechanical ability. Not 
many of the pioneers were educated, but all were fond of reading and were 
well informed. They have not taken kindly to the pen. 

William Millikan, whose parents names and place of nativity are unknown, 
tradition says came with .several members of his father's family from the 
north of Ireland and settled in Chester countv, Pennsvlvania. He was 
probably born as early as 1720. The name of a William Millikan appears 
on the Ta.N-list of Chester county from 1739 to 1758, being "crossed olT " 
the latter year. A lease of land and buildings passed from John Ikithngton 
of West Bradford, Chester county, to \\'illiam Millikan, March 6, 1749. 
From the records of the Orphan's Court in the same county we learn that a 
William Millikan had married Hannah Rowan, daughter of William and 
Klizabeth Rowan of New Garden township; this was of date June 19, 1759. 
William Millikan was a Quaker, lived among Quakers in Chester county, 

NoTK — William Millikan of Miami Co., K.s., about the year 1848, assisted in driving a 
herd of cattle over the mountains from Ohio to Philadelphia, and when passing through 
Lancaster, I'a., he met a .Millikin from Washington Co., Pa., and discussed with him family 
tradition. On returning home William's mother told him that his grandfather (meaning 
ing his great-grandfather probably) had come over from Ireland with a brother both of 
whom first settled in Pennsylvania; but they were separated and William Millikan re- 
moved to North Carolina. There may be truth in this tradition, for we know that'l'homas 
and James Millikin, brothers, who settled in Westmoreland and Juniata Co*- Pi t.- 
moved from Chester Co., Pa.

tide he joined the host and removed to Rowan, now Randolph county, 
North Carolina. 

Many letters written by William Millikan to old friends in Chester Co., 
Pennsylvania, have been found, and abstracts will be published. We know 
that the following documents contains the names of that William Millikan

Much abused friend James Marshall these with My kind love to thee 
And to Inform thee that When I moved the affair to Peter Buffing he fell in 
A Grivous passion at L^s both Admireing thou should Mention Such A 
thing as the Non-payment of the seven pounds which lys between Us for 
Mathe had paid it. But he had often paid Debts twice Over .\nd U'ent on 
at a Griveous Rate. I desired him As he had brought in no receipt let us 
Joyn and make Up the Money. No he Would not pay one farthing of it 
tho' he said he had the Mony in his pocket And Dared me to Sue him. But 
I am Afraid he will Be brought to a better Yet I do not Care to say Much 
About him tho I am get weary of him Already I Cannot .See that he makes 
any progress towards a reformation — I have had his Cash Note for the seven

While. I would take . it kind of thee to ask the Bearer hereof As he was 
present and heard Peters plea Which was in my opinion Very weak. 

His Reason is Vastly Declined. I have Desired the young man Robert 
Bratton to Inform himself by thee particularly of the Afaire All I Desire 
At present is that thou May not be Angry At me to Soon will thou hear All 
the story from Bratton thou shall not Be a Loser by me (tho it be yet Un- 
paid) I had the Mony to have Sent by Joseph Miller but Fetter Begged to 
have it prolonged 

from one Who Desires thy Wellfare Both here and hereafter 

Wm Millikan 
P.S. Peter says there is ten times 
As much in his Brother Johns 
hand as his property as Would 
pay thee. As the Settlement had 
Not Been Made By the Sheriffe 
he Concludes is the Cause Why thou Complains.

ffrd James Marshall I Shall be Short at this time Just to let you know that 
I have put your Affair in the Attorneys hand and hope to be Able to give 
You a fuller Account next time of Writting As for Peter this Last Week he 
promised to bring me three or four pound in Pensylvany Mony for I had 
Determined to Sue him but Hannah Came and turned My Mind into soft- 
ness So my kind Love to all And remain your Real friend 

Will Millikan 
Excuse Me at this time and hope to 
Give You More Satisfaction another 
time. 

o 

Respected frd James Marshall these are to Inform thee respecting Moor 
that I Ingaged a Very Smart Attorney who informed me that he Expected 
to recover the note but he was doubtful of the account I am afraid Moor 
is Moor. Still he produced a receipt from thy wife whereby he Insists he 
made satisfaction in Wheat. His attorney by what I Can find is Very Asidious 
in the Cause. My attorney he is now appointed one of the Judges of the 
Superiour Courts but notwithstanding he tells me he has Given the affair in 
Charge to a Very honest attorney of the Inferior Courts Whom he Relives 
will be Very true to the Cause You May Depend Upon My best Efforts. 

You have Given Zachariah Stanley an Order for the Mony I Owe to you 
Which was Very Well But Could not be free to Discharge It until I Got 
Clear of this affair of Moors I hope thou will not think it Unreasonable. 

A great part of Our Province is in A kind of Tumult at this time Con- 
ceiveing themselves agrieved by Oppressive Laws restraints and heavy 
Taxes to Many perticular Cases to Enter into now tho' I Determine to Keep 
Clear Yet Conclude there is Cause of resentment And Complaint. 

So Conclude With my kind Love to thee and thine in perticular and All 
friends in General and remain thy real fr'd And Well Vv'isher May the i8th

" Upon the petition of the widow and children of William Rowan, late 
" of the township of New Garden, deceased, who died Intestate, it is by this

"tenth part thereof for the said Intestate's dau<^hter Anne; one other tenth 
"part thereof fur the saiil Intestate's son Joshua; <Mie either tenth part 
"thereof for the said Intestate's dau<;hter Hannah the wife of William Mul- 
" lican ; one other tenth part thereof for the said Intestate's daufijhter Sarah ; 
"one other tenth part thereof for the said Intestate's son James, and the 
"remaining tenth part thereof for the said Intestate's son Moses; and how 
"they shall make the division aforesaid thc-y siiall make known to next court 
"under their hands and seals." 

After his settlement in Rowan Co., N. ("., \\'illi;ini Millikan was called 
to till positions of trust commensurate with his abilities. We kncnv he was 
justly held in high esteem for his estimable character. Through his friend, 
Jas. Marshall of Chester Co., Pa., he had purchased instruments and ex- 
pected to have renumerative employment under Karl Granville who claimed 
to own one-eighth of the Province, as surveyor. At the organization of 
Randolph county, which was composed of parts of Rowan and Guilford 
counties, March 8, 1779, William Millikan was chosen as one of the Justices 
for holding Courts; and at the same time was elected as Register of Deeds. 
He also served as Clerk of Courts for his county. The tradition in the 
family calls him " a lawyer " and has some foundation in the fact of his doing 
considerable business as acting agent or attorney. 

The land upon which William Millikan lived as a "Squatter" for many 
years was part of the territory claimed by Earl Granville, but his right was 
disputed, a controversy respecting the validity of his title arose, there was 
a resort to arms, the war of the Revolution ensued, the cause was determined 
and all issues turned in favor of the Colonists ; then all lands remaining 
unsold became a part of the public domain and was subject to entry. 

After the Revolution, Nov. 2, 1784, William Millikan secured a land 
grant comprising four hundred acres on Back Creek. This became his farm 
and is still in possession of his descendants. Two years previously his 
house was burned by fories and the following abstract from a character 
sketch of Col. David Fanning written by Rev. E. W. Caruthers, will be of 
interest to the Millikan family: 

"On Sunday, March 10, 1782, Fanning went to the house of \\'illiam 
Millikan Esq., who lived on Back Creek, about two miles from Johnsonville, 
on the old cross road. As Millikan was away (It is said that he was driv- 
ing his cows home and discovered Fanning in time to hide) from home 
they burned his buildings and destroyed evervthing they could. While the 
house was on hre, Mrs. Jane Millikan carried out a favorite feather bed, but 
they carried it back and threw it on the fire. When the bed began to burn, 
they twisted a stick into the feathers and scattered them over the house. 
When the blazing feathers, as they flew in every direction through the room, 
caught in a bundle of yarn which was hanging on the wail, they taunted 
Mrs. Millikan and said : " ' Look at your yarn old woman.' " When leaving 
Millikan's they compelled his son, Benjamin, to go along and pilot them to 
the house of Col. John Collier * * * *. Fanning came up after night. Col- 
lier was asleep, but ?efore he lay down he put a young man out as sentinel 
on a pile of rails a few rods from the door. Fanning made (Ben) Millikan 
answer that they were friends." 



642 POSTERITY OF WILLIAM MILLIKAN. 

There is a tradition that Col. Fanning took Benjamin Millikan and an- 
other young man out to hang them, and that while they were stringing the 
other up to the branch of a tree, Benjamin managed to escape. There are 
men now living (1903) who remember having seen the stump of the tree on 
which the young man was hung. 

During the Revolution William Millikan was living on the west side of 
the " Plank road," south of Newmarket, but after the burning of his house 
he took up his abode with his son Samuel. He was a zealous Quaker, an 
advocate of liberty, and took an active part in civil affairs of the county. 
He enjoyed in an eminent degree the esteem and confidence of the public. 

William Millikan m. Jane White who was probably a daughter of Alex- 
ander White of Chester Co., Pa. As he did not make a will the time of his 
death is unknown, but he was not living in 1805. There were no less than 
seven children named as follows : 

1. William Millikan'-, m. Eleanor Smith, Aug. 10, 1765. 

2. Samuel Millikan-, m. Ann Baldwin, June 10, 1767.

CHILDREN OF WILLIAM AND JANE WHITE. 

I. Samuel Millikan'- (l), eldest son of William^ (1), b. in Chester Co., Pa., 
Dec. II, 1742, was carried by his parents "when a small boy" to Rowan, 
now Randolph Co., N. C. lie was m. according to the Quaker forms, 6th 
mo. 10, 1767, to Ann Baldwin, daughter of William and Elizabeth Baldwin ; 
so say the records of the New Garden (N. C. ) monthly meeting. 

From a certificate given by the monthly meeting held at New Garden, 
Rowan county, Province of North Carolina, 29th day of 9th month, 1764, 

Thk Baldwin Family.— This is an English surname The ancestors of this family are 
said to have removed from Pennsylvania to Virginia. They first settled, as (Quakers, at 
the Hopewell monthly meeting, near Winchester, in Frederick county. According to 
Weeks' " Southern Quakers and Slavery," a Baldwin was \\x^ first Quaker to settle in 
North Carolina; he located at Cane Creek monthly meeting in the southwestern part of 
Alamance county, having emigrated from Hopewell, Virginia, between 1751 and 1754. 
Stephen Macy, a son-in-law of Baldwin's has said (some thirty years ago) : " Some man 
settled east of Guilford (N.C.) five miles and thought he was farther west than any other 
man, but went out hunting one afternoon, and heard a bell and went to it and found it on 
a cow ; so he followed the cow and she led him to this Baldwin's cabin which was west of 
his own clearing. The farm is now owned by Mr. Albeit Peele. Some of the Baldwin's 
remained at Hopewell, and the Quaker records there show that a certificate of removal 
was granted to one of the name between 1824 and 1828, to go to the Whitewater, Indiana 
monthly meeting. Although the Baldwins were Quakers, a brother of Ann Baldwin's 
served in the Revolutionary army, having evidently been a " Fr e Quaker." The ofiicial 
Register of Officers of the Continental army does not show an^ one of this name from 
S^orth Carolina, but does show two from Virginia — Surgeon Corn* lius Baldwin and Ensign 
"rancis Baldwin. The Revolutionary soldier may have lieen Jesse Baldwin, Ann's

we learn that this Sannu'l Millikan returneil td Pennsylvania that year and 
was "clear of any marria>;e ciij,^\f;emenl." lie- ret ei veil a ( crtilii ate fr<»m 
the monthly meelinj^ at Hradfortl, Chester county, I'ennylvania, ulh day ot 
the 4th month 1765, addressed to " Friends of New (larden monthly meet- 
ing, North Carolina," and at that time returned to his southern home. This 
also stated that so far as known "after neetlful inquiry mule" he was free 
from any " marrege Ingaigements." In a letter by his father dateil New 
Marlborough, North Carolina, June 10, 1765, and addressed Humphrey Mar- 
shall of Hradforil, Pennsylvania, he says, "My son came home the 22d of 
May. He desires to be remembered to you as also to your father and mother. 
1 am highlly pleased with your kind and friendly reception of the boy whilst 
among you all, and shall be glad to have it in my power to make a grateful 
return according to my station." 

On Nov. 2, 1784, Samuel Millikan received a grant of land consisting 
of 554 acres on the waters of Little Uwarrie river in Randolph county. 
North Carolina, and record of the same may be found in the Book of Claims 
No. 18, page 229, at Raleigh, N. C. He seems to have first .settled near 
the Marlborough meeting house, a short distance from the pre.sent town of 
.Ashborough. By his will he devised to his son William two hundred acres of 
land known by the name of the " Old Place whereon I once lived near the 
Marlborough .Meeting House." At a later date he had moved to a farm 
near the Springiield Meeting House, then in Randolph, now in Ouilford 
county, close to the line and not far from High Point. His name frequently 
occurs in the Quaker records (now stored in the vaults of (iuilford Col- 
lege) in connection with the Springfield monthly meeting, and as a business 
man. Some of his descendants assume to say his business was the manu- 
facture pf wagons, agricultural impleinents and edged tools, his shop being 
at Guilford Court House village. No mention of a plant of this kind is made 
in his will, but it does indicate that he was quite e.xtensively engaged in 
farming. He must have been a man of considerable means as evidenced by 
letters from his sons in Ohio, and his will made the i8th day, the 2d month, 
1817, and now on file at .\shborough, N. C. Besides the bequest to his .son 
William already mentioned, he made disposition of his estate as follows : 
"To the heirs of my son John (deceased) one hundred acres of land in the 
state of Ohio on Whetstone Creek, the waters of the Sciota ; also one hun- 
dred dollars in money to be equally divided among them when the young- 
est should reach the age of 21." "To my son Benjamin 60 acres of land 
known as the Pine Tract adjoining the lands of Joshua Holliday, he having 
already received a title to 200 acres as part of his share." "To my son 
Jesse the notes held on Kleazer Reals (testators son-in-law) for a tract of 

brother, who was a superior man and a credit to his family. William Mullikan of Wash- 
ington Court House, Ohio, now 9S years of age, (1903) has seen him and conversed with 
him. A long letter from this Jesse Baldwin, dated " North West Territory, Ross County, 
May the 21st, iSoo," addressed ♦o his parents, William Baldwin, Cuilford County, .\otth 
Carolina, shows that he was ^nen li\jnc: on Sciota river. In concluding his epistle he 
signs, "Jesse and Hannah ' aldwin To dear ^kl Father ]!aldwin, Daniel and Mary, I'riah 
and Hannah, John and Jeremiah, Joshua and L'izabeth, Kicharil and his beloved children, 
Samuel and .Ann, (Millikiii) William Millikan - d Hannah, Cousin Knos lilair and Han- 
nah, Jess Williams and i^arah." His farm was n "The Sciota at the head of .Salt creek 
on rium run" — to whim locality he moved sooi after " William Mullikan returned from 
the Ohio."

land I purchased of John Roddock amounting to four hundred and twenty- 
five dollars ; also $ioo in money." " To my son Samuel, the tract of land 
whereon I now live for the support of my loving wife during her widow- 
hood." He also gave Samuel all his live stock and farming tools and half 
of the household furniture. The other half of the furniture was given to 
his wife and at the end of her widowhood to be equally divided between 
his live daughters. All of his other lands were to be sold by his executors 
and the money arising therefrom and all notes and money on hand to be 
equally divided between his wife and nine children. 

He further bequeaths to his boy, Absolom Griffin, (probably a "bound" 
boy) the tract of land purchased of Willam Frazer, called the Frazer place, 
provided that in the event of Absolom's death without heirs, it should be 
sold with the residue of the estate. He also gave to Rosanna Leech (prob- 
ably a "bound" girl) one cow and calf. 

That Samuel Millikan was actively engaged in the cause of emancipating 
the slaves was shown by the veneration in which his name was held by 
some negroes he had helped to free in North Carolina, and who had settled 
in Ohio. When they met John Millikan (the old editor) and learned that 
he was Samuel's grandson they could not prostrate themselves low enough 
to adequately express their delight and gratitude. 

He appointed his brother Benjamin, and sons Benjamin and Samuel, 
his executors, and we know that they faithfully performed their duties, even 
making a journey to Ohio and Indiana to pay the money due to the children 
of his son John. 

Samuel Millikan died in 1818, and his widow removed to Indiana with her 
daughter Ann, the wife of Rev. Eleazer Bales, with whom she lived until 
her death near Mooresville, Morgan Co., Ind. There were five sons and 
five daughters of whom more with 3d generation. k ^5"U- 

/^ William Millikan'- (2), second son of William^ (l), b. in Chester Co., 
Penn., as early as 1754, was but four years of age when his parents removed 
to Rowan Co., N. C. He m. Aug. 10, 1776, Eleanor Smith of Guilford 
Co., N. C, and settled on a grant of 400 acres, not far distant from New 
Salem, where he was employed as farmer, blacksmith, and land surveyor ; 
and some old "land plats" and "field notes," still in the family, show that 
he was a scientific man. 

He crossed the Great Smokey mountains in 1792 and settled on a tract 
of land in northwestern Tennessee, near Morriston, (three miles northwest) 
and the site of his dwelling commanded a view of the Clinch mountains ten 
miles north, and the great Smokey mountains forty miles south. The lands 
are somewhat hilly, but overlook a fertile valley near at hand. There is 
a cool spring of limestone water on the east and a rill winds down to mingle 
with other spring-streams on their way to the great Holston river. 

His house was built of large chestnut logs, hewed square, and was on the 
ground plan 20x30 feet, two stories, with a la.rg^ cellar underneath. There 
were also two porches of two stories on the north -nd south sides, and the 
large chimneys were laid up with limestone rock. . spacious building of 
one room, used for a kitchen and dJ ning-room, stood ntar the principal dwel- 
ling. Some parts of this house h'lS stood the wear ai d tear of time more 
than a hundred years, and may st 11 be seen.

4. Alexander Millikan- (1), fourth son of William^ (l), b. in Chester Co., 
Penn., in 1757 ; was an infant in arms when his parents removed to North 
Carolina. He went to Lost Creek, Jefferson Co., Tenn., with the family of 
his brother William and other relatives in 1792, and removed thence into 
Georgia where he became a wealthy planter and the owner of many slaves. 
He was m. but d. issueless. His Quaker kindred in North Carolina and 
Tennessee did not hold him in fellowship because of his slave-holding, and 
his name would have been lost to the family but for an old lady, now in her 
94th year, his grandniece, who relates that this Alexander* wished to make 
her father, who had been named for him, the present of slaves as a tangeable 
expression of his regard, but Alexander Millikan, the namesake, refused to 
become a slaveholder, and the offer was rejected. The compiler has made 
diligent inquiry in many counties in Georgia, but has failed to find any de- 
scendants or the name of his wife. 

V-f. Sarah Millikan'- (1), daughter of William^ (1), b. in Chester Co., Penn., 
■^'as early as 1748-50, but the order of her birth as compared with the other 
children has not been ascertained. She was m. according to the Quaker 
formula at New Garden Monthly Meeting, Guilford Co., N. C, Jan. 28, 
1 761, to John Mills, son of John and Rachel (Bates) Mills, and resided 
in her state until. 1784, when, with her husband and children, she removed 
to Lost Creek, now in Jefferson Co., Tenn. John Mills was a weaver by 
trade, and had a mill on his farm for fulling his cloth. He left part of his 
family at a Quaker settlement in then Greene Co., and with his oldest sons 
built a cabin about one and a half miles east of the place where Lost Creek 
sinks under Mahoney Hill. They cleared ten acres and planted for a crop. 
William, a son, was hunter and housekeeper. Soon Mrs. Mills and her 
younger children followed. Their nearest postoffice was Greenville, sixty 
miles away. The first meetings of the Quakers in the Lost Creek settle- 
ment were held at the cabin of John Mills. He d. at Lost Creek and was 
buried in the graveyard by the Quaker meeting house. Mr. Mills was a 

*Since it was ascertained that the wife of William Millikan ist was Jane White, it 
seems probable that the name Alexander came from her family. There were Alexander 
Whites in Chester Co., Pa., and in Randolph Co., N. C.

Blair Family. This is a surname of great antiquity in Scotland, and ter- 
ritorial in origin. The word Blair or Blar signifies a plain, clear of woods, 
but as such localities were chosen for hostile encounters this word came to 
signify a battlefield. The family of Blair or Blar in Scotland, has main- 
tained a high position in that country since the 13th century. Numerous 
branches of the same parent stock have become distinguished both in Great 
Britain and America. Some of this name removed to Ireland at the Plan- 
tation of Ulster and many of their descendants emigrated to the United 
States long before the American Revolution. Some sat down alongside of 
their Scotch-Irish neighbors with whom they had intermarried, and repre- 
sentatives of their posterity have filled high official positions in the clerical, 
legal, medical and political professions in New England. Others settled in 
Pennsylvania and Ohio and their sons removed to the Carolinas and other 
Southern and Western States. 

Colbert Blair and Sarah Blair, his wife, migrated to North Carolina from 
Pennsylvania about 1754-55 and settled in Burke county now Caldwell. 
Colbert Blair was a Quaker and said to have been one of the followers of 
William Penn, but went south with the great tide of Quaker migration in 
the middle of the i8th century. He had four sons, Enos, John, Colbert, 
and James. John Blair settled in Burke county and had issue ten sons and 
four daughters, and their progeny is legion. Colbert Blair Jr. went west, 
and is lost to history. James Blair was killed in the battle at Ramseur's 
Mills in the Revolution. Enos Blair settled in Randolph Co., N. C, and m. 
Hannah Millikan, daughter of William Millikan, and had issue seven sons 
and four daughters whose names appear above. John Blair, son of Enos 
and Hannah, married Elizabeth Tomlinson who was the daughter of Samuel 
and wife Annie, who.se parents were Thomas English and wife Margaret 
Flynn, who were married in England and setttled in Camden, S. C. Mar- 
garet Flynn was first cousin of Lord Cornwallis. Colbert Blair's wife was 
Sarah Morgan, a neice of the illustrious pioneer, Daniel Boone, who was 
descended from George Boone from Devonshire, England. See note on the 
Boone family. 

Going back to John Blair, son of Enos and Hannah Millikan, who with 
his wife Elizabeth Tomlinson lived on the head waters of the Little Uwarrie 
in Randolph Co., N. C, we note that he was b. July 5, 1800 ; his wife was 
b. Jan. 17, 1796. He d. July 12, 1859; wife d. June 30, 1862. These had 



POSTERITY OF WII.l.IAM MUJJKAN. ,; j;, 



several sons, amongst them Samuel, Solomon, Menjamin and Hon. Jcjseph 
Addison IMair, a distinguished lawyer and writer of Ashhoro, \. C. who 
says he had rather be a poet than a President. 

Tradition says the Millikans and lUairs were related l)y intermarriages 
in Ireland, and in I'ennsylnania, long before their removal to North Caro- 
lina, but we have no record of such alliance. It will be seen that I'homas 
Tomlinson, son of Samuel and .Annie ( Knglish) Toinlinson, married Mary 
Millikan, daughter of Samuel and Ann ( Baldwin) Millikan ; also that Samuel 
(". i;l;iir, son of John and Klizal)eth, married Mary, daughter of lienjarnin 
and .Margaret Millikan, also that John \. Blair, son of John and Klizabelh, 
married Mmily .V Millikan, daughter of Samuel and Mary .Millikan. Thus 
the blood of the Blairs and Millikans ha.s comingled for generations, and 
both currents arising from ancient fountain-heads in Scotland have flowed 
across seas to Ireland and America until, today, thousands of descendants 
are animated by its red, rushing, heroic qualities.

home. He had learned the trade of blacksmith with his father in Xorth Caro- 
lina, and built a smithy on his farm in which he repaired his farm imple- 
ments and shod his horses, but his principal employment was farming. He

ment in Kentucky he repaired and stocked guns and rifles. It is stated 
that his long rifles with hand-forged barrels, cherry-wood stocks, and cun- 
ningly engraved brass mountings were considered to be fine shooters, and 
Solomon was quite celebrated. Children's names with 4th generation. h,^^ 

7. Rev. Elihu Millikan^ (1), fifth son of William- (2), b. in Guilford Co., N. 
C, Dec. 6, 1785 ; m. Sept. 29, 1808, Miss Nancy Hurst, who became the 
mother of fourteen children. He was carried from North Carolina to Ten- 
nessee by his parents in 1795, when but ten years of age. Was in the war 
of 1812. He was drafted in Jefferson Co., Tenn., Sept. 17, 1814, for six 
months, and served seyen months and sixteen days as captain in the 3d regi- 
ment, Tenn. drafted militia under Col. William Johnson. Honorably dis- 
charged May 3, 1815. His wife d. in Nov. 1830, and he m. 2d, Feb. 20, 
1838, Cynthia Lea, daughter of Rev. Major Lea and his wife Lavinia, b. 
near Lea's Springs, Granger Co., Tenn., Aug. 31, 1803, and d. July 31, 1890. 
As his widow, she applied May 11, 1878, for pension. Elihu Millikan grew 
to manhood on his father's farm near Morristown and fought under Jack- 
son at New Orleans. Of his religious experience little is known until he 
appears as a Baptist minister. His father was a Quaker and his mother a 
Calvinist. By searching the Scriptures soon after his conversion he em- 
braced his mother's creed and united with the Baptist denomination. He 
was supposed to have been baptised by Elder Isaac Burton, then pastor of 
the " Bethel South " Baptist church, now known as the " Morristown First." 
This church licensed him to "exercise a public gift," and by authority of 
the same body he was ordained Sept. 18, 1825. He was pastor of Mossy 
Creek church for seven years and of the Buffalo church in Granger Co., 
Tenn., nearly a quarter of a century, resigning Oct. 3, 1859, on account of 
the infirmities of old age. At one meeting during this pastorate the church 
had an accession, " by e;{perience and baptism " of ninety-nine members out 
of ninety-nine who professed conversion. This was known as the " Routh- 
Jones Meeting." He was frequently called into councils for the ordination 
of ministers, the settlement of discords and recognition of new churches; 
as well as to attend, everywhere, "sacramental," "protracted," and "camp- 
meetings." In the records of the organization and recognition of the First 
Baptist church of Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 22, 1843, the name of Elihvi Milli- 
kan appears. 

Jesse Hill, aged 93, living near Mossy Creek, knew Elder Millikan as 
far back as 1828, and said : " He was the principal preacher in this region 
of country; was a missionary and an able man." William Haynes said: 
" Brother Millikan was a strong doctrinal preacher and was successful in 
revival meetings. He had a good influence in the community. People had 
confidence in him and he built up the Baptist cause." Uncle Sammie West 
said, speaking of Elder Millikan s wonderful voice: "I heard him preach- 
ing one night from the Buffalo church to my house, a distance of two miles, 
air course." 

He was fervent and effective in prayer and devoted to the old songs 
of Zion. It was his uniform practise to sing before the final benediction :

former master: "He always fed and clothed well, and had reasons about 
him." 

A little while before he died some friends were singing the old familiar 
hymn : ** How tirm a foundation ye saints of the Lord," and coming to the 
words: "I'll never, no never forsake," he clapped his hands and exclaimed: 
*' No, he never will ! He never will !" He was buried by the side of his wife 
near Lea's Springs, Grainger Co., Tenn. On his tombstone is this inscrip- 
tion : " Rev. Klihu Millikan died Dec. 21, 1864, aged 79 years and 15 days.

John and Eleanor Russell, who was b. in Tennessee, Aug. 10, 1793, and d. 
May 5, 1854. He was carried by his parents to Lost Creek, Tenn., in 1795, 
and when he grew to manhood settled on a farm a few miles west of Morris- 
town, Hamblen county, where he remained until 1838, and where his chil- 
dren were born ; he then removed by wagon to Henry Co., Ind. 1 1 is aged 
parents died at his home while living in Tennessee and were buried near 
Morristown. He was a member of the Society of Friends, and a man of 
kindly and generous impulses whose benevolence was almost boundless. 
He was very decided and courageous and manifested great strength of 
character. When his older brother, David and his wife, became aged and 
incapable of longer gaining support — they were childless — he went to Ten- 
nessee, brought them to his home in Indiana, provided for them the remain- 
der of their days and gave them a Christian burial. Alexander lived to the 
great age of 93 years and d. Aug. 1880, in Henry Co., Ind. During his 
last days he became feeble-minded and did not know the members of his 
own family. He had issue thirteen children of whom wilii 4th generation. 

9. William Millikan^' (3), seventh son of William- (2), b. in Guilford Co., 
X. C, Nov. 12, 1789, was twin to Alexander. He was carried to Tennessee 
in 1795 ' "^- Rlbecca Elmore and settled first in the neighborhood of his 
father's home, but later went to Ohio — so says his nephew, John Howell of 
Tennessee — where he is supposed to have raised a family. From an exten- 
sive correspondence I have found no reliable information concerning this 
man or of his family. One nephew is quite sure that he settled in Indiana, 
but relatives in that state have no knowledge of his living there. L^nwil- 
lingly I must leave his history for others to investigate.

timber ; we now have plenty of cisterns of good water, and ponds for our 
stock. The land is good and rather level. A railroad now runs through 
the farm." Eleanor was tall and had fair hair and complexion. Her chil-

foxes and kept a tine pack of hounds which were carefully trained for the 
chase. His old friend, Joseph Davidson, also kept hounds and the two men 
hunted much in company. \\'hen they wished to communicate with each 
other they sent letters tied to their dog's tails. They often spent the nights 
out-of-doors. He d. l-'eb. 17, 1870; his wife d. (Jet. 23, 1869. These had

whom he had issue eight children; second, to Pxizahkth liRDWv of (Guil- 
ford Co., N. C, b. July 3, 1812, and d. April 14, 1858. Mr. Millikan was a 
pioneer in Indiana, having removed in 1816, traveling with his wife and 
two children all the way with a single horse and wagon. Two of his broth- 
ers and a sister went to Indiana and settled the same vear. The red soil 
farms in Randolph Co., N. C, had become worn out and unprotluctive, and 
finding good land at a moderate price in Indiana, many families " pulled up 
stakes" and migrated. When he reached his destination he had but twenty- 
five cents left, and bought with it a Dutch oven for the bread-baking. His 
family domiciled in a shanty built on " forks " until he built a log house. 
All of the floorings were split with an ax or handsaw. Grain was carried to 
mill on horseback by blazed trees. Ten acres of land were cleared in winter 
for cultivation the following summer. In the year 1845, he built a two- 
storied timber house, which was weather-boarded and ceiled, four miles from 
the Wabash river. On the north was the road from Howard to Annapolis; 
on the east was the Montezuma and Covington road ; and near, the town

Nov. 6, 1788, William Woodward, son of Abraham and Hannah Woodward.

N. C, March 23, 1771 ; was m. at Marlborough Quaker meeting house,* 
Nov. 6, 1788, to Jesse Hockett, son of Jesse and Ruth Hockett, and cousin 
to Mahlon Hockett. 

3. William Millikan'' (5), eldest son of Samuel'-^ (l), b. in Randolph Co., 

N. C, Apr. I, 1773; m. Hannah and removed to Ohio* with his 

brothers John and Jesse about 1803-4. An old letter found amongst Mil- 
likan family papers in North Carolina, throws some light upon his situation, 
and as others related are mentioned, it shall be subjoined. 

*The witnesses to the marriages of Elizabeth and Jane were IJenjamin Millikan, 
William Millikan, Samuel Millikan and Ann Millikan, the two last being parents. 

NcjTE. — That these three brothers (John, Jesse and William) were still connected with 
the Society of Friends when they left North Carolina, is shown by the fact that they were 
granted certificates of removal l)y the Springfield Monthly Meeting. Weeks' " Southern 
Quakers and Slavery " shows that between 1S04 and 1810, one or more Millikans were lib- 
erated to go to the Miami Monthly Meeting, in Warren county, Ohio; between 1803 and 
1832, to go to other meetings in Ohio ; and a Millikin, between 181 1 and 1832, to go to the 
White Water Monthly Meeting, in Wayne County, Indiana. This book does not give 
exact dates, nor given names; but since Albert Peele writes us that it was William Milli- 
kan who was liberated to go to the Miami M. M., it follows of necessity that he was the 
one first above named, the second was his brother Jesse, or John, or both, and the last 
their mother. 

It is more than doubtful if any of these three brothers ever presented his certificate 
of removal to any Monthly Meeting, or ever identified himself in any way with the Quak- 
ers after leaving North Carolina. Their going west with the great tide of (Quaker migra- 
tion from North Carolina, which began in 1800, was doubtless due to the spirit of adven- 
ture in youijg men, and to their desire to better their condition, rather than to any more 
sentimental considerations.

I now have an opportunity of Informing yon that we are all well except 
myself; this pain in mv l)reast still continues. We received thy letter which 
informetl us of thy helpless situation which was alfecting to hear. I'hy let-

to see you this Faul but it will not be convenient as I expect to move onto 
the West Fork of White river this faul. Malon Hoor<ratt and Richard Wil- 
liams was with us a few days ago. I was at their meetings four days * * 
then they went on toward the state of Ohio. I have purchased sixteen hun- 
dred acres of land ; some of it cost S4. per acre, and some cost $3 per acre 
and some cost two dollars per acre, hut I am some in debt for it though I 
hope to pay for it before it is forfeited. We are well satistied with our move 
to this country. We have had anotiier son born last month and we call his 
name William. Crops generally look well. I want you to write to us every 
opportunity. 

So we subscribe ourselves your son and daughter 

William \ Hannah Millikan.

John Millikan of Crown Point, Ind., writes: "In the fall of i860, while 
on my way from Laporte to New Albany via the Xew Albany iV Salem R. R., 
a gentleman informed me as we pas.sed through Bedford, Lawrence Co., 
Ind., that a certain fine dwelling house he pointed out to me was once the 
home of my uncle William Millikan. I am not certain about it, but I think 
the gentleman's name was Hockett, and he was a relative." 

A long and careful search through correspondence supplemented by 
several inquiries published in the Indiana newspapers has failed to tind the 
descendants of this Millikan. That he had children we know from his own 
letter, but all may have died. 

4. John Millikan^ (1), second son of Samuel- (1), b. in Randolph Co., N. 
C., -Vug. 18, 1775 ; m. Dec. 19, 1805, Mary Wyatt, b. in the state of New 
York in 1787, daughter of Nathaniel and Ann Wyatt*, and descended from 
an old and distinguished family in Virginia. Her father served for five 
years as an officer in the Revolution. John Millikan removed to Ohio as 

*\Vv.vri' F"amily. Nathaniel Wyatt and his wife Ann Brundige were natives of Xew 
York City, or the suburbs thereof, and removed to the West about the year 1802. They 
tarried awhile at Harper's I'"erry, \'a., and then moved onward to Ross Co., ()., where John 
.Millikan became acquainted with and m. his wife. William Brundige and his wife .\nnie, 
and their sons Thomas, Nathaniel and John, resided in Ross Co., O., near the Wyatts. 
Nathaniel Wyatt, purchased an e.\tensive tract of land in Delaware Co.,0., adjoining the 
Wyandotte Indians country, and the whole contingent (with the exception of the family 
of Thomas Brundige), including John Millikan's family, removed to that locality, pur- 
chased land and built houses. When the war of 1812 broke out, two blockhouses were 
built upon the Wyatt land, one on each side of his residence, surrounded l)y stockades; 
and this frontier post was named " Fort Morro," and Lieut. John Millikan commanded a 
military company there, lieing a practical surveyor he was detailed to lay out military 
roads through the wilderness, then infested with savages, to [.ake Erie and Detroit. He 
died of "cold plague " in March, 1S14, at Chillicothe, O., where he was guarding I'.ritish 
prisoners, and before his son John was born ; this son and his brother William were cared

ware county. lie served in the war of 181 2 with rank of Lieutenant of 
Cavalry. The following statement was found in the family bible of his 
daughter, Mrs. Ann Wyatt Blackmore : " Lieutenant John Millikan died 
March 27, 18 14, at Chillicothe, Ohio, while in command of the Guards over 
British prisoners taken by Major Croghan at Fort Stephenson." At the 
time of his removal from North Carolina he received a certificate from the 
Springfield Monthly Meeting, as was customary with Quakers, but it is not 
known that these credential commendatory were presented to any Monthly 
Meeting in Ohio, or that he ever identified himself with any society of Friends 
after leaving his early home, although he was considered to be a " birthright 
member." An old letter of date Feb. 2, 1801, and headed " North West 
Territory, Ross County," contains so much of interest relative to the cost 
of lands and pioneer life in the then far west that it will be subjoined. 

" Honored Father and Mother, after the love and affection I owe to you 
I inform you that I am well and 1 hope this may find you likewise. When 
I wrote to you last I expected to have been the Bearer of the next Letter 
myself, but my Concerns will not admit to leave home in the Winter Season 
and in the Summer I must tend my crops so that it seems a difficult Job 
for me to come to see you, though you are seldom out of my mind long at a 
time and I hope you will not quite forget me though I would not have you 
be under any concern for me. 

I wrote to you last Summer concerning the selling of the Congress Land 
which is to be next May and the prices of our county's produce which is 
nearly the same now as it was then, and I need not write any discription of 
the Country but it is far before your Black Jack Ridges and I expect Bill 
has found it out before now. All the truth is we have not got land of our 
own but we feed ourselves with the hope of getting some. There is Military 
Land of the best quality for sale on the waters of Muskingum, I think on 
reasonable terms. Some at nine shillings per acre six years credit clear of 
Interest, payable in any kind of good property. Four Thousand Acres in 
one track including the most Beautiful Plain called the Bowling Green and 
it contains a grate deal of first rate bottom at four and sixpence per acre 
(but) this must be a good part paid in money. These are undoubted rights. 
If thee has any notion of ever coming to our Country again thee would do 
well to be here the first of next May. We look upon these to be good chances 
of getting Land. It is fifty miles from here and not very far from the head 
of Hawkin in a fine Healthy Country furnished with good Springs and Ex- 
cellent Mill Seats. 

The mare that I brought out died in a few days after Bill left the Ohio, 
and the colt in a short time after. My hogs and cattle I have yet this Fall. 
I sold Four Thousand Five hundred Weight of Pork. I have about one 
hundred head of hogs now ; they keep fat winters and Summers. We could 
get but two dollars per hundred for pork * * * for there is no money amongst 
us. I intend to drive my hogs to Fort Detroit in a year or two ; it is better 
than two hundred miles, but I can get five dollars per hundred by giving 
good weight. 

It is a great satisfaction to me when I Receive a Letter from any of you 
and I hope you will not miss any opportunity, So I must bid you Farewell.

he received all the live stock, the farming tools, and half of the household 
Sfoods. To him was committed the care of his mother, and at the end of 
her widowhood he was to possess her share of the estate. This Samuel 
seems to have been a Quaker preacher as it is recorded in the records in 
the vaults of (niilford college, Guilford Co., N. C, that he was "liberated" 
by the Springfield Monthly Meeting to travel west and east with a Quaker 
preacher named Nathan Hunt. The latter went, but there are no reasons 
for believing that Samuel Millikan did. He d. on the old farm, Feb. 14, 
1868. His wife d. Sept. 13, 1868. They had ten children of whom with 
4th generation. 

7. Benjamin Millikan'' (3), fourth son of Samuel- (1), b. in Randolph Co., 
N. C, Feb. 21, 1783; m. Margaret Bales, daughter of Jesse and Susanna 
Bales, and resided in his native place during his whole life, — with exception 
of extended visits in Indiana. He was rightly named "Emancipator Ben." 
He was an ardent Abolitionist and very active in his efforts to assist the 
slaves in gaining their liberty. He assumed many personal risks and showed 
great contempt of danger, and his life was often threatened, but a Kind 
Providence watched over him and he thwarted all the attempts of his 
enemies to do him bodily harm. He was a bold and fearless leader in the' 
anti-slavery movement in North Carolina ; a man of warm heart and noble 
soul, a true friend of the oppressed. His name will long be venerated by 
every lover of liberty where he was known, and held sacred by the families 
of the poor slaves whom he was instrumental in helping from bondage to 
liberty. 

Note. — Asenath II. Owen of Ano, Hendricks Co., Ind., in a letter dated May 23, 1S99, 
writes: " I remember of hearing Uncle Benjamin tell a strange bit of family history when 
" he and Aunt Margaret visited at my father's. Uncle Ben was a strong Abolitionist, 
" while Clark Elder was a strong advocate of slavery. Uncle Ben helped a negro, — in 
" whom Clark Elder was interested, — but I cannot remember whether he owned him or 
" not, — to escape to Canada, and it so enraged Clark Elder that he went out and hanged 
" himself." 

TiiK Balks Family. — This surname is variously spelled in old records — Bales, 
Beals and Beales. Eleazer Bales was a man of great influence amongst the Quakers in 
Indiana. The following is adapted from Weeks' " Southern Quakers and Slavery." About 
1752, Richard Williams and his wife Prudence Beals, with two children, removed from 
ISIonocacy River, then in I'rince George county, Maryland, and settled in North Carolina 
upon the lands where the New Garden meeting house now stands, the site for which Wil- 
liams gave. Thomas Beals, brother-in-law of Richard Williams, was the first Quaker set- 
tled at New Garden. He came from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. In company with 
William Rol)inson of New Garden, he made a visit to the Indians, Nov. 11, 1777. They 
returned home the ne.xt year, and in 1779, " Thomas Beales proposes removing to the Ohio 
river to be near the Delaware Indians." The Quarterly Meeting would not permit him to 
go at this time, but in 1780 it was agreed for him to go wt^t to make inspection as to the 
advisability of moving his family. In 1782 it was reported that he 4iad removed, with 
several other families, and he then requested liberty to appoint other meetings. The cause 
of the removals of so many (Quakers from Virginia and Slorth Carolina was their protest 
against slavery, and the leader and organizer of the Carolina hegi^ was Thomas Beales. 
lie is said to have been the first white man to settle in Ohio. He d.'^ar Chillicothe, Ohio, 
in iSoi, and was buried in a cofifin dug out of a log, as there was not a sawmill within hun- 
dreds of miles. Bowater Beales went from Montgomery county, Penn., in company with Wil- 
liam Hunt, and visited the Friends in Virginia and New Jersey. Many meml)ers of the 
I'ealesor P>ales family removed from North Carolina to Ohio and Indiana with the families 
of Millikan, and their numerous descendants now reside there.

Hkn'jamin Mii.i.ikan's Advkvturk. I'he following interesting account 
was furnished by a neice of iSenjamin Millikan and is substantially correct: 
*' IJenjaniin Millikan so well known as an emancipator or liberator of slaves, 
was an honest man who had many warm friends and more bitter enemies 
than any one in Randolph county, North Carolina. He was law-abiding 
and guilty of no wrong. 

1 will give one incident which is most i)rominent and was characteris- 
tic of his many hardships and sacrifices for the good of others. For the 
facts in this case I am indebted to my uncle Kleazer Millikan, who, although 
old, partly paralyzed, and very feeble, remembers all of the circumstances 
well. And I can remember hearing my dear parents tell about the adven- 
ture and many others which I cannot now relate with accuracy. On this 
occasion grandfather encountered most bitter annoyance and persecution 
by slave-holders on account of his protecting a colored man who had once 
been a slave but had been given, with his master's other slaves, his freedom. 
Provision was made in the will to transport the colored people to Indiana, 
and a white man was appointed to care for them. This poor negro had a 
wife who was the slave of another planter and for her sake he declined to 
leave the state. The man who had the custody of the liberated colored man 
hired him to a man who was supposed to be kind and honorable; but he 
l^roved to be brutal, assuming all the authority of a master. He beat and 
abused this hired man unmercifully, and did not supply him with sufficient 
clothing. This was known to grandfather and he could not conscientiously 
let such cruelty go on without an effort to prevent it. He forwarded a letter 
to the man in Indiana who had the oversight of this ex-slave, informing him 
of the facts and soon received a power of attorney from the state authorities 
to go and take the colored man from his oppressor. This was only known 
to the persons concerned. Grandfather had not asked for any such author- 
ity and would have selected some other for the undesirable commission ; but 
he was not the man to shrink from any danger when duty den\anded his 
services. 

About this time the poor maltreated colored man came to grandfather's 
one day and besought him to go and prevail upon his employer to cease 
beating him, and he consented to go ; but this only enraged him the more 
and he became desperate in his inhuman abuse. At an early hour one morn- 
ing my grandfather and some other neighbors heard a terrible outcry not 
far from his barn as of some one in the hands of a tyrant. On going to 
ascertain the cause, two men were found beating this poor colored man. It 
was assumed by grandfather that he had taken refuge the night before in his 
barn, but unknown to him or his family. The slave masters were suspicious 
and terribly enraged, accusing him of harboring the colored man. 

Grandfather's cup of indignation was now full and he began to use the 
authority with which he had been legally invested. He took the negro to 
his own home, like a good Samaritan, and made him comfortable. Then 



T 



(560 POSTERITY OF WILLIAM MILLIKAiX. 

the enraged planter took out a writ against grandfather for taking the hire- 
lins: from him. 

We must here bear in mind that it was an offence calling for a heavy 
penalty upon any one who meddled with another's slaves, and this man, 
with all of the assumption of a slaveholder, was to institute legal proceed- 
ings and punish grandfather for — no unlawful transaction. His friends in- 
formed him, however, of what was going on and he " escaped out of their 
hands " by going across the line into Guilford county until suitable prepara- 
tions could be made for his departure for Indiana with the colored man. 
Without returning to see his family, he went on his journey traveling sixty 
miles the first day in a two-horse wagon over mountainous roads, crossing 
wide streams, and traversing almost interminible forests, enduring many 
hardships. If his enemies had known of his departure before he had made 
this distance they would have followed and perhaps killed him, but his skil- 
fully laid plans had deceived and prevented them and he went on undisturbed. 

When it was known by his enemies, the slave owners,that he had carried 
the old colored man safely to a free state, they boasted that he would never 
dare to return to North Carolina, and made dreadful threats against him if 
he did ; but assured that his action had been lawful, when he had placed the 
negro beyond harm and visited some relatives in Indiana, he came boldly 
back to his home and was not molested. 

Meanwhile, court proceedings had been instituted by the man from 
whom he had taken the negro ; but when grandfather came back with author- 
ity to prosecute him for his brutal treatment of a free man, and for non- 
pavment of his wages, he buckled and besought him to sign a paper which 
had been drawer up, to settle the trouble out of court by arbitration. Referees 
were appointed and agreed upon the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars 
to be paid by the man who had abused the negro ; and this he paid. His 
defeat so crushed his spirit that in exasperation, like Judas, he went and 
hanged himself. From a footnote found elsewhere, it appears that the man 
who "went out and hanged himself," was Clark Elder, whose wife was a 
member of the Millikan family. 

It was said by those who were familiar with all the details of this ad- 
venture by grandfather when conveying the colored man to Indiana, that 
it was one of the cleverest schemes ever carried out on the " underground 
railroad." It was only one out of many bold acts of Benjamin Millikan in 
which he circumvented his enemies, the slave holders, and successfully 
guided the poor suffering negroes to a land of freedom. 

He was keen-witted, sagacious, daring and brave ; and always found a 
way to accomplish his purposes when impelled by a sense of justice to help 
bondmen in securing their liberty. He went to Indiana six times, going 
over the road by private conveyance twelve times. On four of these trips 
he went with his two-horse wagon to move his relatives to that free state. 
One journey was made on horseback, and he and his wife went once in a 
carriage." 

8. Jesse Millikan'' (1), fifth son of SamueP (1), b. in Randolph Co., N. C, 
Oct. i8, 1785; m. Apr. 7, 1810, Lydia Barrett, this being her birthday; 
her advent was on Apr. 7, 1791, in Winchester, Frederick Co., Va. Her 
parents were Richard and Sarah (George) Barrett, Quakers, from the "Old 



rOSTERirV OF 117L/./.I.U .\ni.I.lhAX. cc, 



Dominion." He was a professional surveyor and civil enj^ineer and assisted 
in making the tirst survey of Public Lands in ( )hio. While surveying in 
Hiirhhuul Co., he boarded a whde with Kichard liarrett and there lirst met 
his charming Lydia. It has been related that while on his way to be m. 
lesse Millikan liad a narrow escape from drowning in a branch of I'aint 
Creek. It was in the spring, the water was at llood-tide, and as there were 
no bridges he had no alternative but to swim. Love laughed at streams as 
well as "locksmiths," and he boldly launched away. Heing an expert swim- 
mer, he succeeded, after a most desperate struggle, in reaching the opposite 
shore, stimulated and nerved, no doubt, for this herculean e.xerticm by 
visions of the fair face of her whom he wished to make his own. Jesse 
Millikan went to Ohio, or the Northwest Territory, with his brothers John 
and William, as earlv as 1800-1, and settled at ("hillicothe, which was then 
the capital, and subsequently at Washington Court House, Tayette Co., 
where he resided until his death. His daughter, Mrs. Ellen Rawlings, has 
a manuscript arithmetic and geometry written by him in his youth, showing 
that his thoughts were early turned toward Ohio, for one of the problems 
reads as follows: " If it be 600 miles and one half from Samuel Millikan's 
door to that fine country, the Miami, which I do greatly admire, and that a 
wheel nine and three inches be, how often will it turn in running there.' 
Jesse, I require it of thee." 

He was postmaster at Washington Court House, and clerk of Fayette 
Co. from its organization until his death. He also built a mill which he 
long owned, and which become the property of his son, Curan Millikan. It 
seems quite remarkable that we should be able to produce letters written by 
each of the three brothers, sons of Samuel Millikan who went to Ohio, but 
such is the case, and we herewith append the following verbatim liieratitn. 

• 

"Washington, Fayette County, Ohio, April 11, 1818. 

Dear Brothers & Friends. 

Your letter announcing the Death of our Father was received some time 
ago, which as is common amongst mortals could not fail of producing sen- 
sations of sorrow, we however anticipated nothing else knowing his great 
infirmity and advanced age. 

The Barkktt Family. Thomas liarrett, the American ancestor of this family was a 
Quaker and had a grant of land from William Penn in Pennsylvania, in 1682. Benjamin 
Barrett, grandson of Thomas, and wife F.leanor had a son Richard Barrett, born Nov. 11, 
1760; also a son Jonathan and a daughter. The family removed to Fiederick Co., Va. 
This Richard Barrett married Sarah George, May 11, 1785, she being the daughter of Kllis 
and Lydia (Chambers) (George, born Dec. 8,1762. Jonathan Barrett married .Sarah (leorge's 
sister. Richard Barrett and his family removed to Highland Co., ()., where they passed 
the remainder of their days. Their family consisted of nine children, Rebecca, Fleanor, 
Lydia, who married Jesse Millikan, Phoeby, Sarah, Rachel, Sidney, Amy and Richard 
Lewis Barrett, whose son David Barrett has long been superintendent of the Ohio State 
Reform Farm, at Lancaster, O. 

A daughter of Benjamin and Eleanor Barrett was married to John Cowgill (or Cogle) 
and had sons John and Jonathan. John the father lived near Cincinnati, but sold out and 
moved to Highland Co., ()., where he bought several adjoining farms for himself and 
children. They had a shop in which they manufactured saddle-trees, which they delivered 
by wagon through Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. In Washington's memorandum book 
appears the name of Benjamin Barrett who did work on the fortification at Winchester, 
Virginia, in 1756-7. Probably identical with the above-named Benjamin. 



(JG2 POSTERITY OF WILLIAM MILLIKAN. 

I have wrote Nathaniel Wyatt requesting information of the situation of 
land will'd to John's children and also informing him of the nature of father's 
will respecting the children. I have not had an opportunity of sending the 
deed for that Land to be recorded yet ; and indeed if a new one could be 
procured I am of opinion it would be better as the one made has been exe- 
cuted so long ago. I however must endevor to procure a new one or have 
the one father sent recorded. 

I do not expect to go to Carolina this fall. I am about building a mill 
which requires my attention here. If there is anything coming to me from 
Carolina it will be of material benefit to me this fall particularly to assist in 
erecting the mill, if there be any safe opportunity of sending forward on 
paper on the State Bank of N. Carolina, (which) is good here. I have not 
wrote to William since I received your letter, because I do not Know where 
to direct to him. 

' We have four children, namely, Samuel, Curran, Jesse and Richard, all 
healthy as common children. I will inform you of the situation of the land 
in this state which Father bought of Ruddock as soon as I receive an 
answer from Nathl Wyatt. Please to inform me what Father wished should 
be done with the other hundred acres, there being two hundred acres, and 
only one (hundred) will'd to John's children. 

I wish you to write to me as soon as possible ; and as I do not now rec- 
ollect anything more of importance to communicate, I will close this letter 
desiring that mother will not suppose I have forgotten her parental care 
and attention toward me when I was under her good care. Farewell ! 

Jesse &: Lydia Millikan. 

Jesse Millikan was a man of medium height, strong built, very active in 
body and mind and a natural mathematician and mechanic. ,He was suc- 
cessful as a business man, and his penmanship as uniform and graceful as 
any engraved letters. His wife, Lydia Barrett, was large, and their children 
and descendants were strongly marked with characteristics of the Barretts, 
being generally large framed, hardy, lovers of out-of-door pursuits and 
long lived. 

It has been said that Jesse M ill ikan's wife was expelled from the Quaker 
society because she m. outside of it ; but the simple fact seems to be that 
she did not unite with any Quaker society after her m. for the reason there 
was none in Fayette county. She did become a member of the Methodist 
Fpiscopal church at Washington C. H., but continued to wear her Quaker 
dress till the day of her death, and was buried in it. 

Jesse Millikan d. August 1836, and Lydia his wife d. Oct. 27, 1857. Of 
their eleven children ten lived to grow up and m. and in August 1897, seven 
were still living. See 4th generation.

Co., N. C, Feb. 20, 1788 ; m. Oct. 12, 18 14, to Rev. Fleazer Bales. They 
removed to Indiana, and settled near the town of Mooresville, Morgan Co. 
She d. in early life and he was afterwards m. three times. There were sev- 
eral children, and the eldest may have been a child of Ann Millikan.

On Friday, February 8th at 12.20 p. m., Jesse Millikan, a pioneer of '51, 
died after a lingering illness at the residence of his niece, Miss Catherine 
Millikan, at 10S6 Madison street. 

The deceased was a native of Fayette county, (3hio, born Oct. 10, 1814. 
He received what education the schools of that section afforded in those 
pioneer days. His first labor was assisting his father at his water mill at 
\\'ashington Court House, Fayette county. At the age of 26 he was united 
in marriage to Miss Lydia Ann Metzger, and nine children blessed their 
union. In 1844 he emigrated with his family in wagons to Indiana. Here 
he became quite popular, being elected to the office of Justice of the Peace, 
a position he held with credit for two terms, when he resigned in 1850. On 
April 6, 185 1, in company with his family, he started for California. He 
crossed the plains with ox teams and they were one hundred days on the

to Amador county, where he was engaged in mining with fair success for 
a period of ten years, when he purchased a large stock ranch at Sutter Creek, 
which he conducted successfully until the death of his wife fifteen years ago. 
He then disposed of his belongings in that section, and in 1895 he came 
here, where he has since resided. He was a man of intellectual character

strongly identified with the Whig party and after its termination he w-as a 
staunch Republican. He was a prominent member of Liberty Lodge, No. 
299, F. and A. M., of Santa Clara, and was also a member of Howard Chap- 
ter, No. 14, Royal Arch Masons, of San Jose. Of his once large family but 
one daughter and one son, Mrs. Melissa Smith of Lodi, San Joaquin county, 
and Jesse Millikan of Vallejo, survive him. His funeral took place on Sun- 
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services at the residence were conducted

year. John R. Millikan d. at the same place Sept. 12, 1895, aged 81 years. 

His opportunities for an education in early life were very limited and 
he grew to manhood on his father's farm. With a desire to improve his 
condition and believing this could be better accomplished in a free state, 
he went to Henry Co., Ind., in 1835, and settled one mile northwest of 
Hillsboro. During the following winter he attended school, and subse- 
quently taught several terms in the elementary branches with success. In 
the winter of 1837, he visited his old home in Tenn., but soon returned to 
Ind. During the summer he engaged in farming yet availed himself of 
every opportunity to improve his mind. In 1842, he removed with his family 
to Hancock Co., Ind. In 1845, he moved back to Henry Co., and pur- 
chased a farm on Flatrock, where he added to his agricultural employment 
a blacksmithing establishment, being something of an expert at this trade. 

In 1853, he purchased antl removed to what may be called the Millikan 
homestead, in Liberty Township, where for many years he successfully 
managed his farming interest.s, adding to this pork packing. In 1854, he 
was elected Justice of the Peace, and was subsequentlv re-elected serving

eisrht years. He was inanv times a delegate t(i slate crinventioiis of tlie 
political party to which he l)el()n<^e(l. His political duties were |)erforiiie(l 
with tidelity to his constituents without being a bitter partisan. His de- 
cision and rulings when Justice of the Peace were remarkable for their firm- 
ness and impartiality. In 186H, Mr. Millikan was elected by the Kejiub- 
licans of Henry Co., as Representative in the Legislature of the state and 
took his seat Jan 7, 1869. During this session he was an earnest and 
active member, gave close attention to legislative proceedings and v(Ued 
intelligently and conscientiously on all ]nil)]i(' issues. He was chairman of 
the very important committee on roails, aiul introduced a bill auth(jrizing 
the assessment of lands for the construction of plank, macadamized and 
gravel highways. At the special .session of the Legislature, held the same 
year, his bill became a law, and by virtue of it, hundretls of gravel roads 
were constructed in the state. A special session of the Legislature was 
called Apr. 10, 1869, at which Mr. Millikan voted for the Fifteenth Amend- 
ment to the Constitution of the United States. He was always consistantly 
opposed to the payment 01 the claim of the Morgan raid bill which was 
pending during his service. 

In 1S70 he was again elected as Representative from his county, and 
during the session became an active and influential member, serving on the 
committee on roads, canals and public e.xpenditures. I'his committee inves- 
tigated the management of all the State Institutions. In 1873 the Citizens 
State Bank of Newcastle was organized, and Mr. Millikan, who was a 
stockholder in the institution, was elected its President and continued in 
that position for many years. By industry and economy he amassed a com- 
petency, and was always kind and charitable to the less fortunate. He was 
always a warm friend of education and served many years as school trustee. 
When the question of free schools was first agitated, and when the matter 
was submitted to a vote of the people, he and two others were the only 
persons in Liberty Township who voted for the free school system. He 
was a firm believer in the Christian religion, and with his estimable wife, 
was, since 1863, a consistent member of the Disciples church. He was 
always an advocate of temperance and all moral reform, and in all the rela- 
tions of life was upright and respected. He was fortunate in his business, 
official and domestic life, and few were more deserving of success. He was 
the father of eight children, two of whom have died, one being a sacrifice 
on the altar of his country. See 5th generation for names and particulars.

S. Matthew Russell Millikan' (l), fourth son of Alexander' (2) and l-.liza- 
beth Russell, h. 40 miles east of Knoxville, Jefferson Co., l"enn., Jan. 17, 
1826; m. Jan. 1, 1S52, Ariminia Davis, b. JuneS, 1 .S;^^, dauf^hler of Aiiuilla 
and Linnie Davis, early settlers of Henry Co., liul. lie was a lad eleven 
years of age when his parents removed from I'enn. lo Henry Co., Ind. 
Reared amid pioneer scenes on the home ])lace in 15lue River township, he 
early became familiar with clearing ami developing a new farm, and as edu- 
cational privileges were limited, he did what he could to obtain a knowl- 
etlge of the elementary branches, attending during winter seasons schools 
tauirht in a small log cabin near his home. 

He remained with his father, assisting with the farm work, until his 
25th year, when he began life for himself as a blacksmith, setting up his 
shop a few miles north of Newcastle where he did a large and jirotitable 
business in general blacksmithing, making plows, wagons, and doing repair 
work for the contractor, DeGraff, one of the builders of the Cincinnati and 
Chicago railroad, now an important division of the " Panhandle" system. 

At the end of four years he disposed of his smithing business for six 
hundred and forty dollars which he invested in one hundred and twenty 
acres of land in Blue River township just as nature made it. By great in- 
dustry he soon had a farm well improved, and as the years went by continued 
to add to his possessions, until he became one of the largest owners of real 
estate in his township. 

Mr. Millikan has kept up with modern ideas of farming, and by care- 
fully studying the nature of soils and their adaptability to the various crops, 
has seldom failed to realize large returns for his expenditures and labor. 

His home farm is a tine old place with a beautiful dwelling suggestive of 
comfort, while the prime condition of all other improvements, together with 
the well cultivated fields, bear evidence of the thrift and prosperity which 
attend the owner's efforts as an enterprising and successful agriculturist. 

Mr. Millikan has lived a useful life, protracted beyond that of a majority 
of men and his character has never been assailed, his integrity being above 
reproach. He posesses strong and positive traits, entertains decided opin- 
ions upon all matters of political, religious or general character, and those 
who know him best, bear testimony to his sterling qualities of head and 
heart, and to his worth as a neighbor, friend and citizen. A useful factor in 
the community and in every relation of his life, he sustains an enviable 
reputation as an honest man. His deeds are the best line with which to 
measure his life, and his works will in the future, constitute his most endur- 
ing monument. He is a Democrat politically, and is strongly imbued with 
the religious principles of the Society of Friends in which his ancestors 
were strict members. There were eleven children in this family of whom 
more wath 5th generation. 

10. David Millikan' (2), fifth son of Alexander^ (2) and Elizabeth Russell, 
b. in Jefferson Co., Tenn., Jan. 13, 1828, and came with his parents to In- 
diana when ten years of age, in 1838. He m. Feb. 11, 1858, MARrnA A. 
RuNVAN, daughter of Thomas and Mary Runyan, of Henry Co., Ind., b. in 
July 1840, and brought up on a farm adjoining that of her husband. 

Mr. Millikan enjoyed but few advantages for acquiring an education. 
He assisted his father to clear and develop the homestead farm in Blue

River township — rolling logs and ploughing amongst stumps and roots with 
an old fashioned right-hand plow. \\'hen about twenty-one years of age he 
saw his first "double-shovel" plow, made by his brother, John R. Millikan, 
and considered it to be one of the grandest improvements of the time. He 
continued with his father, farming on shares, until his marriage. He had 
bought a tract of land in Grant Co., Ind., which he sold, and purchased the 
homestead farm on Flatrock in order to live in the neighborhood of his 
brothers and sisters and support his father in his declining years. He has 
lived on this farm and so improved it that it is one of the most pleasant 
rural homes in the beautiful valley of Flatrock. 

Mr. Millikan is an active member of the Democratic party of the old 
Jacksonian and Jeffersonian stamp and firmly believes that the affairs of 
this government will never be fairly, honestly and economically adminis- 
tered, until that party assumes control of the executive and legislative branches 
thereof. He enjoys the confidence of his party in a high degree, and has 
often been honored by the members in various positions of responsibility. 
During the last decade, few have been the county and state conventions to 
which he has not been sent as a delegate. 

He was elected one of the three trustees of Blue River township under 
the new school law^ of 1854, although the Whig party was largely in the as- 
cendency. As such trustee he helped locate all the school houses in the 
township. For a second term in the same office he was opposed by a promi- 
nent Whig and member of the Society of Friends, and defeated him by a 
handsome majority, being then only 26 years of age. 

Mrs. Millikan is a woman possessed of many virtues and Christian graces, 
which have adorned and blessed the marriage relation and the home. She 
is a consistent member of the Universalist Church, and her husband, though 
not a communicant, does his share in supporting the church. 

The fruits of this union were one daughter and two sons of whom more 
with the 5th generation.

1872, and was buried there, but after a few months was removed to Rose- 
hill cemetery. 

During the Rebellion he kept out of the Confederate army, being a mem- 
ber of the Friends society, by the payment of $600. His house was head- 
quarters of the neighborhood conscripts and deserters who were hiding to 
keep out of the army. By his second wife he had three children of whom,

He became of military age when the Conscription act was passed in \. 
C, calling for all from 16 to 65 years and to avoid army service, he with 
sixteen others, who had been in hiding, started on the "underground rail- 
road " to get through the lines to a place of safety ; that particular line be- 
ing under the management of an old man and a neighbor, named Thomas 
Turner. They traveled only by night and secreted themselves by day. 
On one morning when the old man was about to start on ahead with the 
wagon which contained the clothing and grub for the boys, he induced Ben 
Hodgin, he being the youngest and smallest, to ride ; assuring him that 
there would be little danger that day. So off they went, leaving the others 
to hide and sleep in the woods uiuil night fell, when they were to travel and 
overtake the wagon next morning. lien was hidden under some bedclothes 
in the back part of the wagon, and when they reached a little town some 
distance west of Portsmouth, \'a., through which uncle Tomy was leisurely 
driving, to their surprise out stepped two men in Confederate uniform, guns 
in hand, and shouted, halt ! The team was stopped and the following brief 
but interesting conversation ensued : 

" Where are you going, sir ?" 

" Oh, going down in the eastern part of the state to visit some of mv 
folk." 

" Where are vou from, sir ?" 

" From up in North Carolina." 

"What are you loaded with, sir?" 

"Nothing. Got no load at all ; just my bedding and feed."

"Well, I mind we had better search the wagon." 

" All right," said uncle Tomy, sliding over to the other side to make 
room for them to get in. 

"Search all ye wish to." 

"Ah ! he's too willing to be searched," said one. 

" It's no use. Drive on." 

" Get up Gray ! " shouted uncle Tomy, and out of town they went, only 
too glad to leave the Provost guard behind. 

Ben Hodgin says he has never heard his heart beat as loud before nor since 
as when he was lying covered up there and listening to that conversation. 

They found their way safely through the union lines, took the oath of 
allegiance at Norfolk, Va., and were given free transportation to Columbus, 
O. They had landed in Baltimore on the morning of the fall of Richmond. 

Benjamin Hodgin went to Indiana and visited relatives, working here 
and there ; returned to N. C. in 1865, and in the following spring the whole 
family left their old southern home for Raysville, Ind. In 1871, Ben settled 
on the Osage Indian Trust Land, and has since been through "drouths, 
cyclones, hot winds, grasshoppers and everything else that befel the Kan- 
sas settlers in early days."

granted to his great-grandfather, William Millikan, who moved from Pennsyl- 
vania to Rowan Co. in 1758. He lived in the old house that was built on 
the same site of the one burned down by Colonel Fanning in 1779, until 
1891, when he erected a new residence. He was deputy sheriff for thirteen 
years ; afterwards elected by the people sheriff for the county for two years, 
and during his term of office it became his unpleasant duty, in the execution 
of the law in accordance with his oath, to hang a man who had been con- 
victed for the murder of his wife. In consequence of the exercise of this 
function of his office his Quaker bretheren disowned him. He was elected 
to the State General Assembly as representative in 1888 and served with 
honor. He was also a Justice of the Peace for Randolph Co. His residence 
at Sophia, is seven miles from Ashboro, the county seat. Mr. Millikan has 
been a useful public man and highly respected citizen. He is a lover of 
liberty and rejoiced in the emancipation of the slaves by the sweep of Lin- 
coln's pen. A high-minded, sturdy, uncompromising Republican, he stands

Millikan. Kindly responding to my every request, he has furnished many

Thorntown, Ind. ; m. at Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 19, 1868, Sarah Brown, and 
resides at Thorntown, Ind., where he is engaged in farming and harness 
making, having succeeded to his father's business. The following clipping 
from a local paper speaks for itself : " The oldest continued business in 
Thorntown today, and far away by many years over the next oldest, un- 
doubtedly is the Millikan Harness establishment, which is 65 years old this 
month. It is remarkable in other ways in that its management has passed 
only from father to son, retained the same name, and remained in the same 
location, sixty-three years. Mr. Will. Millikan, the proprietor today, was 
born in a cabin on the same lot where the store now stands. About that 
time the shop in front was burned out but in less than a month, loyal citi- 
zenship had the then young proprietor. Boss Millikan, securely established 
again in a new building. This business is also remarkable in the changes 
that such industry has undergone. Many years ago the main work was the 
making of saddles, and such an establishment made and sold principally 
saddles. Orders for buggy or carriage harness used to come very far apart 
and were from a distinguished or wealthy citizen. Today it is harness, and 
never a saddle. Then it was a saddlery, now a harness store. Inasmuch as 
every business must rise or fall by its own merit or lack of it, such a career 
speaks volumes for honesty and the straightforward business management 
with which such establishment must necessarily have been conducted to 
reach such a position in years." To them were b. five children named as 
follows : 

I. John E. Millikan^, b. July 13, 1870, now a bookkeeper in Indian- 
apolis, Indiana.

SCOTCH-IRISH FAMILY. 



^ 






SBBg^^EggepEi^a^igBii^By; 






James Millikin was born in Scotland and came to America with his parents 
when a small boy before the Revolutionary war. He was the youngest of 
the family, and we do not know that he had more than three brothers and 
one sister, viz. : William, John, Samuel and Mary, of whom hereafter. 

We do not know anything about the father of this family. Their mother 
was a very intellectual woman, and much devoted to the Presbyterian church. 
Everyone loved and honored her. At the time of her death in 1808, she 
made her home with James Millikin at Mt. Pleasant, Penn. 

The family located first on the Brandywine, near where Washington 
crossed with his army in Chester Co.,* Penn., and remained there for a num- 
ber of years ; but being apprised of danger from the Indians they buried 
their valuables, vacated their home temporarily, and fled to other parts for 
safety. When this warning came, the mother was reading her bible. She 
removed her spectacles and placed them between the pages of the sacred 
volume, and this treasure, though now fragile and discolored by age, is still 
in possession of the family. When they returned they found their property 
— with the exception of what was concealed — destroyed and they removed 
to Westmoreland Co., Penn., where James Millikin secured a grant of land. 

From the state land office at Harrisburg, Pa., the following was pro- 
cured : 

"April 12, 1786, to James Millikin 115 acres in Pitt Township, West- 
moreland County, Pennsylvania, called 'James' Delight,' surveyed in per- 
suance of an application entered 13th June, 1769, by Robert Waugh, who 
dying intestate, his administrator by virtue of the orders of the Orphan's 
C'ourt, by deed dated the 9th of February, 1773, conveyed the said land 
to James Millikin for whom a warrant of acceptance was issued nth Apr. 
instant. Names of owners of adjoining lands, James Fleming, Mr. Smith 
and Simon Girty." 

James Millikin married Mary LocKARDf who was b. in Ireland in 1762. 
She had been m. to John Thackett, and in 1780, they came to America. 
Their two children d. when crossing the ocean, and three months later the 
husband d. Nine years afterwards she became Mrs. Millikin. By this 
union there were five children whose names will appear. The death of the 
father, which occurred in 1808, was caused by a fall from the high porch 
of a house where he had assisted at a "log-rolling." The men were wash- 
ing for supper when he was pushed off by a drunken man. 

*The name of a James Millikin appears on a tax list (with several other Millikins) 
in Chester Co., Pa., in 1753 ^^^^ '754 ^^ East and West Nantniel, and was designated as 
" unmarried." 

tLocKllART, originally Locard and Lockard, was a surname of great antiquity in Scot- 
land, and as early as 11 24, Stephen Lockard was "a man of rank and distinction." One 
of this family accompanied Sir James Douglas on his expedition to the Holy Land with 
the heart of Bruce and after this event they bore a heart enclosed in a paddock upon their 
arms and for a time changed their name to Lockheart.

The family then removed to Sieuheiu ille, ( )., and thence to Lit kin;; 
Co., ()., where the children ^rew to maidiood and \v(»inanhood ; and after 
their marriage and settlement in life, the mother made her home with her 
daughter, Mrs. Jane Parkinson, until herii. in Jan. 185C, at K-tna, ()., when 
96 years of age. She was industrious, indt'iiendcnt and too proud to accept 
aid from anyone. As spining was a common domestic industry in those 
days, and being an expert at the wheel, she provided ample means for the 
support of her family. She taught them to be honest and industrious, and 
they all made life a success. .She was buried in the "(iravel Hank Ceme- 
tery," on Licking Creek, half a mile from the city of I'atascola, where she 
rests beside four of her grandchildren. Names of children : Jatu\ Samuel, 
Mary, Margarei and John.

CHILDREN OF JAMES AND MARY LOCKARD. 

I. Jane Millikan'' (l), eldest daughter of James- (1), b. in Westmoreland 
Co., Pa., July 2S, iSoo; m. William Parkixson* and remained in Licking 
Co., O., until the spring of 1856, when they removed to Ottawa, La Salle 
Co., 111., where he d. Nov. 13,1860. Mrs. P. d. Nov. 1887, at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. Martha Winter, at Garfield, 111. Mr. Parkinson was" a man 
of marked personal appearance. His complexion was fair, his eyes blue, 
his hair auburn, and he wore no beard on his broad, firm chin. He was a 
powerful man physically, of heavy bone, and standing six feet four inches 
without shoes; was spare of flesh but weighed two hundred and fifteen 
pounds. The cords on the back of his hands were as prominent as small 
ropes. He was just the man to hew a farm from the heavy forest, and this 
he accomplished. Was not a church member, but used no profane language 
and was a regular attendant at divine service and Sabbath school. .Mrs. 
Parkinson was of medium height and figure, rather tleshy, with dark hair, 
very black eyes, and good complexion. She was the very picture of health 
until advanced in years ; and her eyes never lost their brilliancy nor her 
ears their acuteness of hearing. She was a consistant member of the Cnited 
Brethren church. Nine children, four of whom d. of scarlet fever in 1832, 
named as follows : 

L Mary Ann Parkinson, d. in childhood.

2. Samuel Milllkin-' (l), eldest son of James- (1), b. in Westmoreland Co., 
Pa., Nov. 24, 1801 ; m. 1824, in Licking Co., O., Rebecca Williams, daugh- 
ter of John and Margaret ( Worthington) Williams of Franklin Co., O., who 
was b. there Feb. 24, 1808. They moved to La Salle Co., 111., in 1830, 
locating at Ottawa, where they were surrounded by Indians and exposed to 
many hardships and dangers common to pioneer life, but survived them all 
and acquired a farm comprising 400 acres which is still owned by his de- 
scendents. He d. Feb. 24, 1866, after which the widow made a home with 
her son Samuel until her d. July 18, 1892. 

Samuel Millikin was full six feet in stature, erect and thin in flesh. His 
eyes w'ere black, deep-set and arched with heavy brows. He had a deep, 
thoughtful, earnest look, but without a trace of melancholy. He was fluent 
of speech and could express himself clearly and forcibly. Of strong demo- 
cratic proclivity he kept in touch with, and was looked upon with favor by, 
Stephen A. Douglas and other political celebrities of his state. 

He was one among the most thorough and substantial farmers in his 
county. His fine stock, and especially his substantial, well-fed, well-groomed 
horses, together with his up-to-date farming implements, kept him in the 
lead, and he acquired a competancy by agricultural pursuits. 

Samuel Millikin was brave even to a fault. In the spring of 1832, when 
the Indian war broke out with all its horrors under Black Hawk, one Shan- 
bena, an Indian chief who was friendly to the whites, rode for many hours 
to warn the settlers that Indians contemplated making a raid on them at a 
certain hour. The families hastily gathered up their belongings and started 
for the fort on the south bank of the Illinois river — where Ottawa now 
stands — in the darkness of the night. Next morning the rising sun bathed 
in glittering splendor the polished mountings on the guns of about three 
hundred Indian warriors on the opposite bank of the river, who were gazing 
intently on the fort. 

As might be expected in the excitement of the hour, much provision was 
left in the cabins of the settlers, and the supply in the fort was soon ex- 
hausted. Somebody must risk their life to save the others from starving. 
Those who were brave enough to risk the long and perilous journey to the 
mill, were prevented by their wives who threw their arms around their necks 
and begged them not to go. Looking his wife in the face as if to gain her 
approval, Samuel Millikin said, "I will go." She proved to possess that 
kind of metal admired by the bold pioneer, and quickly sanctioned his going 
as if no danger was apprehended. 

He left the fort with an ox team and wagon and started on his lonely 
journey of many miles over the prairie, through grass taller than his head, 
and without even a faint trail to guide him to his destination. His out- 
going trip was without incident worthy of mention ; but when within a few

miles of the fort, on liis reluiii, he iioliced two men on jjonies approaching 
him. The nearer they came the more positive he was that they were In- 
dians. Me could see the silvei trimmings on their {(uns {^listen in the sun- 
light, and knowing how fond the red men were of ornamental weapons, t(tok 
this as evidence of the character of the approaching horsemen. Nearer 
and nearer they came, and what was he to do.' Having no horse on which 
to escape, his only means of safety was to abandon his team and hide in 
the tall grass. With that object in view he raisetl one foot upon the wagon 
box and waited. Still nearer they came on the galUjji, and he fancied \\\\\\- 
self making the leap for life ; but finally, when not many rods away, he dis- 
covered that they were white men, and men whom he knew. (Ireat was the 
rejoicing when Samuel Millikin with old ''Buck and Bright " pull'ed up at 
the fort. 

He was a grand old pioneer in a new country who related many ad- 
ventures of the Black Hawk war, and the brave part he enacted could 
scarcely be overdrawn. 

He had issue eight daughters and three sons. See 4th generation. 

3. Mary Millikin' (l), second daughter of James- (1), b. in Westnioreland 
Co., Pa., was m. to John Drake and d. of consumption in Licking Co., 
(). Her husband took his three children and moved away, and on his de- 
parture remarked to his friends: " If I do well you will hear from me." 
He was not afterward heard from, and the fate of this family is unknown. 

4. Margaret Millikin' ( 1), third daughter of James* (1), b. in Westmoreland 
Co., Pa., July 17, 1803; was m. July 17, 1820, to John S. Hunt, and had

Oct. 19, 1871, in Santa Clara, Cal. She d. there July 4, 1882. He moved 
with his family from Licking Co., O. to 111. about the year 1834, and after 
residing there two or three years, went to Iowa, thence in 1850 or 1S51, 
when the gold fever was at its zenith, he migrated to California. He did 
not engage in mining, however, but purchased a farm in the beautiful Santa 
Clara vallev, midwav between Santa Clara and San Jose. At that time

Spanish claims occasioned much trouble, and after making considerable 
improvements on his land, he was compelled to pay for it a second time.* 
He was an invalid for several years before his death. He was a man of 
vigorous mind, and was highly respected by his acquaintances. During his 
illness he was visited by men of prominence. 

He and his family were natural vocalists, and were endowed with such 
sweet voices that their conversation had a musical charm. 

There were ten children. See fourth generation.

George Milligan, the first known ancestor of this branch of the Milligan 
family, came from Ireland to Washington Co., Pa., before the Revolution. 
From the State Land office at Harrisburg, Pa., the following record was 
procured : 

"April 2, 1792, to George Milligan, loo acres 65 perches situate on the 
waters of Chartier's Creek, in Washington county, called Milligan's Brew- 
ery ; in pursuance of a warrant issued to said George Milligan March i, 
1786. Names of owners of adjoining lands: Samuel Workman, James 
Workman, Josiah Scott, Matthew Steen, Samuel Silex, and the widow 
Roberts." 

Here, evidently, George Milligan sat down, established his home, en- 
gaged in the beer brewing business, anc? raised his family. He may have 
removed to Bedford Co., Pa. Maiden name of his wife not known. What 
relation to other Milligans does not appear. It will be observed that one 
of his neighbors was Samuel Silex, and as his son, whose name will pres- 
ently appear, married into that family, we find a link in the identifications. 
Number of children unknown. 

James Milligan'^ son of George^ (1), was m. in Washington Co., Pa., Apr. 
1796, to Mary Silex. They removed from Bedford, Bedford Co., Pa., in 
1801, locating at Greenfield, Highland Co., O., where James received two 
lots of land free. He was one of the charter members of the village. He 
d. on his farm at Greenfield. Issue, eight children, viz. : Hannah^, Lovina^,

1. George Milligan^ (2), son of James"^ (1), was b. near the town of Brad- 
docks, Pa., March 24, 1801, and was orphaned by the death of both parents. 
He was adopted by friends of the family who moved to Perry Co., O., where 
he m. Priscilla Thrap, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Scaff) Thrap. She 
was b. in London Co., Va., March 20, 1796, and was of German descent. 
One authority states that George came to Deaverstown, O., in 18 ii, with 
Joshua Dikes, his stepfather. He was a farmer and stock dealer, and ac- 
quired a considerable estate. He d. July 28, 1879. Issue as follows: 

2. Wilson Milligan^ (l), son of James" (1), b. in Highland Co., O., Aug. 
27, 1812; m. June 20, 1833, Miss Mary Plain, daughter of James and 
Elizabeth (Daughlays) Blain, b. in Circlesville, Pickaway Co., O., in 181 1. 
She was a near relative of Hon. James G. Blaine, the distinguished states- 
man. She d. Jan. 4, 1866, and Mr. Milligan m' for second wife, Aug. 4,

horseback, and fording many streams. I'rom jay Co., he went to the 
northern part of the state to get money he had left there to pay for his land. 
He entered 240 acres, built a log cabin i4.\i6 feet, with clapboard roof,

Creek Township was at that time covered with an unbroken forest and 
was the home of wild beasts and abundant game. Here he cleared his large

toiled for more than Hfty years. He had 320 acres and three good resi- 
dences thereon, besides commodious farm outbuildings. He was a strong

he was placed with John Hire, a farmer, near Middlepoint, O., who under- 
took to teach him the mysteries of agriculture, but as his mother and family 
were going to Iowa in 1868, he went with them and threw his fortunes with 
great West. He lived with his mother in Burlington and Davenport, la.,

when they removed to their farm one mile west of Van Wirt, O. in October 
1874. He was given a certificate and taught school at Timberville, Pauld- 
ing Co., O., one winter. Having had private instruction in algebra and 
latin, he entered Van Wirt High school and attended one term of the 1874-5 
school year. Graduating from this institution in class of '78, he entered 
the law office of Col. I. N. Alexander, and also read law in the office of 
Saltzgaber & Glen at Van Wirt. He pursued his legal studies until 1884, 
when he took up his residence in Topeka, Kansas, (having been admitted 
to the bar), but instead of engaging in legal practice he associated himself 
with his brother, William E. Milligan, and brother-in-law, George E. Lillie, 
in the lithographing, printing, and blank book business. He traveled for 
this house one year, and was then made manager. In 1888, they consoli- 
dated their business with the firm of Hall & O'Donald, and he traveled for 
this house in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah ; but selling out his interests, 
he accepted a position with Clark & Courts, lithographers, in Galveston, 
Tex., traveling in Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and the states of 
Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and vSan Luis, Potosi, in the Repulic

C. \'. Milligan, for the past eight years manager of the Maverick-Clarke 
Litho company, died this morning at 2.30 o'clock at Dr. Kenney's sani- 
tarium after an operation for appendicitis. The direct cau.se of death was 
a weak heart. Mr. Milligan had been a resident of San Antonio for the 
past fifteen years, and was regarded as one of the most substantial and en- 
terprising citizens. 

Charles Vernon Milligan was born in \'an Wert, Ohio, November 3, 
1S59, and was a son of Jackson Milligan. He attended college at Cincin- 
nati and graduated with honors. He studied law and practiced it later in 
life. About seven years ago, he was married to Miss Pauline Wegenstahl 
of Cincinnati, and a daughter, Klizabetli, now 5 years of ■^<n\ has l^i-cn Imrn 
to them. 

Mr. Milligan came to San Antonio about lifteen years ago and he prac- 
ticed law here for a number of years. About eight years ago he became 
identified with the Maverick-Clarke company and was largely instrumental 
in bringing that, concern to the front. 

He was a member of the Anchar Masonic lodge and took a deep interest 
in matters pertaining to Masonry. He made a study of it and was well 
posted on the rules of this great order. At the time of his death he was 
senior warden and he would have been the next worshipful master. 

P)esides his wife and child, Mr. Milligan is survived by two brothers 
and two sisters — W. E. Milligan of this city, also with the Maverick-Clarke 
company ; Guy Anderson of Bellville, 111. ; Mrs. George Lillie of this city 
and Mrs. George \V. Moffitt of Topeka, Kas. 

\\\ E. Milligan has lived here for several years, and prior to coming to 
San Antonio he conducted a lithographing plant in Topeka. It was there 
where C. V. Milligan received his business training and when he came to 
San Antonio later he joined his brother in business here. 

The deceased was operated upon yesterday and this was the second 
operation of that kind which was performed on him since last December.

This is one of the numerous branches of an old South Carolinian family 
so numerously represented in Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, 
and Arkansas. They came into Texas as Colonists of S. F. Austin in 182 1, 
and sat down at Old San Filipi ; but about 1826, came to Brazos county. 
Their lands were acquired of the Mexican government. Living in a fron- 
tier settlement during reconstruction days when the restraints of law were 
but little regarded, the Millicans became involved in some of the feuds so 
common at that period, and several were killed. They were men of un- 
doubted courage and never fought under cover. One of the Millicans now 
living in Brazos county, killed the man who assasinated his brother ; another 
Millican killed the man who waylaid and shot his brother ; then the children 
of that person, killed him. One of the Millicans was killed by his tenant 
in consequence of some misunderstanding. The town of Millican, in 
Brazos Co., Tex., was named for Dr. E. A. Millican, a prominent member 
of this family. 

Robert Millican- (1), descended from an old North of Ireland family but a na- 
tive of South Carolina, b. about 1750, was one of the Colonists of S. A. 
Austin and came, with his children and kinsman, into Texas in 182 1. His 
wife was Miss Nancy McNiel, a woman of Scotch extraction and a daugh- 
ter of Elliott McNeil. He died from exposure when afflicted with measles, 
as the family was fleeing from Santa Anna when he invaded Texas, May 
1836, aged 86. His wife, who was born about 1752, d. Oct. 25, 1849, aged 
97 years. These had a family consisting of eight sons and a daughter of 
whom more presently. 

Andrew Millican- (2), came from Nashville, Tenn., to Brazos Co., Tex., and 
removed thence to Brazoria Co. about 182S. His wife was maiden-named 
Mary Cardigan, a native of Nashville, Tenn. • He was a farmer, stock 
ranchman and slave holder. He d. about 1858 in Brazoria, He had but 
one child, a son. 

John Millican- (l), brother of the preceding, came to Brazos Co., Tex., with 
others from Tennessee.

river, and about five miles from the historic old town of Brazoria. Soon 
after his settlement in Texas, Col. Millican died, and a few years later the 
mother also died ; both were buried in the cemetery on the McGinnis place. 
This son acquired his education from such advantages as were afforded at 
the time, and being naturally apt and quick to learn, was soon employed by 
a dry goods house in Galveston, on a salary. In 1846 he joined Capt. 
McLean's company, in the regiment of Col. Albert Sidney Johnson, which 
was raised in Galveston, and served in the Mexican war. In 1849 he went 
to California to dig for gold, remaining three years, and returned with some 
§13,000. After returning to Texas he engaged in cattle speculation. He 
drove them along the "old trail" to Kansas. His experience during his 
trip to the gold fields was also attended by many thrilling adventures in 
fighting savages. In crossing the vast desert, the arid plains and the Sierra 
Nevada, they and their horses suft'ered extremely for water. 

Mr. Millican held many offices of trust in Brazoria county. In 185S 
he was elected assessor and collector, holding the office seven years. After 
the Civil war these offices were separated. He was then elected assessor, 
holding the position four j^ears ; then sherift" and collector for two terms ; 
then for a number of years he was commissioner ; meanwhile engaged in 
farming and stock raising. Later on he was elected county treasurer,

Rev. L. R. Millican, pastor of the First Raptist church, V.\ I'aso, 'I'e.x., 
is a native Texan Born in Brazos county where he lived till 13 years old, 
being left an orphan, went to live with an aunt in Lampasas, then on the 
borders of civilization. 

Though but a boy he took an active part in ridding the country of the 
savages, sometimes leaving the school room to go with the scouts after 
them. Brought up on the border, and as a cowboy he was thrown often 
with some of the most daring and desperate men. The early impressions 
and admonitions of a sainted mother, together w'ith her prayers, saved him 
from being drawn into drinking, gambling or profanity, often being the 
only sober one in the crowd. 

In August 1S74, at the age of 20 he gave his heart and life to Christ 
and was baptised into the Lampasas Baptist church. He went immediately 
to Baylor University to prepare for his life work, and Feb. 4, 187S, he was 
ordained. He gave himself at once to preaching in the destitute regions of 
Lampasas and surrounding counties, where he soon built up some strong 
country churches. He has been closely identified with the mission work 
of Texas ever since, most of the time under the employ of the state board. 
Several vears he was general missionarv on the frontier of Texas. 

As a missionary his labors were greatly blessed in many per.sons being 
saved. Many churches, Sunday schools and prayer meetings being organ- 
ized. Has baptised a great many people. His pastorates have been equally 
successful as his work at r>urnett, San Angelo, Big Springs, Midland and 
Pecos City, will testify; building nice church-houses at Burnett, San An- 
gelo, Big Springs and Midland. 

Hear what Dr. O. C. Pope, at the time superintendent of missions in 
Texas, says in 1883, in writing up the mission work: " Brother L. R. Mil- 
lican was called by the Burnett church two years ago. Assisted by the 
state convention, he has builded well and wisely, a handsome house of wor- 
ship, which is a credit to the denomination, and the church will report self- 
sustaining next convention. Brother ^L does not make as much fuss as 
some, but when it comes to earnest, hard work, he has few superiors." Dr. 
Ci. W. Smith, editor of the West Texas Baptist, and founder of Simmon's 
college says of him in writing up a missionary meeting: "Brother L. R. 
Millican, with his mild and gentle spirit and manners, was there. On first 
acquaintance one would think him too gentle and timid for western work. 
But beneath that mild exterior burns a spirit that has the courage of a

Napoleon and the fortitude of a Stonewall Jackson. He knows neither fear 
nor failure." 

He is now in the rushing and busy border city of El Paso, Tex., where he 
hopes to do the greatest work of his life. He has been in a hot fight with 
the hosts of sin for more than a year at El Paso, and was the leader in the 
battle made by the preachers against the prize fights that were to have been 
pulled off near that city. He conducted the correspondence with the Gover- 
nors of Texas, and New Mexico, and United States Attorney General Harmon 
with reference to putting down the prize fights and was one of the men who 
sent the telegram to Congressman J. V. Cockrell that brought on the legisla- 
tion which knocked the fights 387 miles from Y\ Paso and clear out of the 
United States into a desert and uninhabited portion of Mexico." Children :

Maj. James Milliken was the head of this old family. He was a gentleman 
of distinction and remarkable enterprise. He possessed a large estate on 
the island of St. Christopher, in the ^^'est Indies, which still bears the name. 
Unfortunately, nearly all documents containing the family record of this 
branch were destroyed with Milliken house, by fire, in the i8th century, a 
fact confirmed by the late Sir Robert Milliken Napier "of Milliken." 

From an old history of Renfrewshire, by Crawford, we have found men- 
tion of this family and estate, from which we make the following abstracts: 
It appears that one George Houston, son of Ludovic Houston, alienated the 
house and lands of Johnston to Major James Milliken in the year of 1733, 
and he changed the name, assuming the title of "James Milliken of Milli- 
ken, Esq." He dismantled the old mansion found on the estate acquired 
by him, and erected an elegant house, larger, and more modern in style. This 
has been described in quaint language and great fulness of detail in the 
old history alluded to. It was three stories in height, rustic covered, 
pavilion roofed, having a platform covered with lead at the top, with ten 
steps of a stone stair in front up to the main door, which was built after 
the Ionic order, with a portico. The front overlooked toward the East, 
with office houses in the form of a court, and a long circular colonnade 
passage extending from one end to the other. There were four nitches at 
each wing, where was a terraced green. 

Maj. James Milliken m. the widow Mary Stevens who was a lady of 
wealth in St. Christopher where she owned a large estate which eventually 
came to the Milliken family. He d. in 1741, aged 72 years; his widow d. 
in 1746, aged 80 years. These had issue of whom presently. 

Note— While the paternal ancestry of Maj. James Milliken, the first "of Milliken," has 
not been satisfactorily .traced, we learn by his funeral escutcheon now at the Lyon office, 
Edinburg, of date Feb. 1741, that he was descended, maternally, from the Hamiltoiis of 
Inchgolrig ; the Fiirgiisons of Anchinsoul ; Hamilton Lord Belhaven ; the Frazers of Knox ; 
Craiuford of Flatterton ; Brisbane of that Ilk., and Shmvs of Greenock. The pedigree 
runs thus : — " Father, Alilliken ; father's mother, Hamilton of Inchgolrig ; father's father's 
mother, Fers:uson of Anchinsoul ; father's father's mother's mother, Hamilton Lord Bel- 
haven ; mother, Frazer of Knock; mother's mother, Craicford ol Flatterton; mother's 
father's mother, Brisb7-ane of that Ilk ; mother's mother's mother, Sluuv of Greenock.

CHILDREN OF MAJ. JAMES AND MARY STEVENS. 

I. James Milliken Esq., eldest son of Maj. James (1), succeeded as the 
second of Milliken, and made extensive and costly improvements on the 
estate. He made a pleasant bowling-green adjoining the west side of the 
mansion, having rows of tall lime trees upon the south and north ends. The 
orchards and gardens on the south side consisted of eight acres of ground 
through which the Kilbarchan stream meandered, falling down in four 
cascades. In the middle was a large circular pond surrounded by lime 
trees. The green and pigeon houses stood in a parallel line.

In the year 1745, he :\<x|uireil the lands culled Anchinsloislie and Au- 
chinsales, from Mr. ( iinninjihani of ('raifi;send ; alsr) the lands of Mansuarie, 
liank'end, Lintwhite, Hallhill, Locher-mill, Wester and Faster Kainihills, 
Boakshill, and others. ( )n some of these lands, coal and limestone were 
found 

About the year 176J, James Milliken purchaseil the lands of l-;aster 
Whitelands from the heirs of James Young, and afterwards the lands of 
Branscroft, from Robert Allison who removed to North Carolina with his 
family. 

In the year 1767-S, Mr. .M illiken enclo.sed the lands of KaimhilKs, Hoaks- 
hill, and others in the barony, and made a new road at his own charges 
through the lands of iJranscroft and Whitelands into the town of Kilharchan. 

He was said to have expended more money on public roads than any 
man in Scotland. The roads leading from the bridge of Johnstone to 
Kilbarchan, on both sides of the Milliken mansion, were mostly made at 
his e.xpense. 

In 1761, he built a stone bridge having two arches, over the river lUack 
Cart near the ruins of Cochran tower, where was a corn mill in Milliken 
barony; and was a generous contributor toward building the bridge of 
Johnstone in 1770, on the great road between Kilbarchan and Paisley. He 
planted a number of hrs and other trees at a precipice called Barhrai- in 
1767-8, and built a dyke on the summit; also opened a path from the man- 
sion to the spot. There was a valuable freestone quarry on the estate. 

It was said of this James Milliken, Ksq. that "his dignitv of mind and 
grace of manners made him an attractive person." He m. Jkan Mac- 
DovvALL, the daughter of Alexander MacDowall of Garthland, Ksq., and d. 
June 7, 1776, having had issue two sons and two daughters whose names 
will presently appear. 

I. James Millikex, his father's heir apparently, died in \'enice. Italy, 
when a young man, unm. 

11. Alexander Milliken, second son died in Paris, France, when trav- 
eling, unmarried. 

III. Jean Milliken was m. to Col. William Napier of Culcruch, parish 
of Fintry, Stirlingshire, by whom she had a son Robert, and a daugh- 
ter Jaticf. 

IV. Mary Milliken was ni. to Nathaniel Pence, a physician in Fdin- 
burgh, and had issue. She d. March 3, 1774; her daughter /(///^V d. 
Apr. 16, 1777. 

Thus this family ended in the male line, and James Milliken, Ksq., the 
second of Milliken, was succeeded by Robert Napier, son of his eldest 
daughter, Jean, before mentioned. He also succeeded his father as heir of 
Culcruch, April 1 1, 1773, and was an officer in the army. He assumed the 
name of Milliken in addition to his own surname and quartered the Milli- 
ken arms with those of Napier. See chapter on ".\rmsof the Family," 
first part of this book. 

XoTE. — Col. Wii.LL\M MAcI)<nvALL had commanded a regiment in the island of St 
Christopher, and it appears that Maj. James Milliken was an otticer in the same body. 
CoL MacDowall married a daughter of the widow Mary Stevens who became the wife of 
James Milliken, and a grandson was named Milliken MacDowall. This family owned a 
large estate in Scotland, known as Castle Semple.

d. in 1S31. On his gravestone in St. Michael's churchyard, Dumfries, he is 
styled " Farmer." Some branches on the female side of the first family 
seem to have lived at Palnakie and Dalhatie, and were legatees under the 
will of Robert Milligan. the distinguished merchant of Acacia. 

^^ccont) ('*)cncr;itioii. 

John Milligan- (2). eldest son of John' ( 1 ) and Susanna Durham, was b. on 
the farm of Dunnance, in Balmaghie parish in the Stewartrv of Kirkcud- 
bright, Scotland; m. first, ("urisiiaxa Harii.i.v, third daughter of William 
Hartley of Bowling, by whom si.\ children of whom with the 3d generation -. 
second, Ann Harrison of Crossbills, by whom four children ; of these with 
3d generation. The first wife d. Aug. 4, 1817, aged 29 years, and was 
interred in Kildwick church, known as "the T.ang Kirk in ("raven." Mr. 
Milligan d. at, Bradford, England, Nov. 17, 1S47, in the 76th year of his 
age. Ann, his second wife, d. in Bradford, July 18, 1857, aged 68 vears. 
(These dates copied from inscriptions on the gravestone). This John Mil- 
ligan was the first of his family to cross the Scottish Border and settled at 
Cross Hills, Yorkshire, . England. He afterwards removed to I'.radford, 
where he was the founder of the firm of merchants known as "John Milli- 
gan «1' Son." He acquired wealth and left a fortune to his heirs. He was 
a man of distinction and much respected for his benevolence and integrity. 

2. Mary Milligan- (1), eldest daughter of John' (1), was b. on the farm of 
Dunnance, in the parish of Balmaghie, Galloway, Scotland, and became the 
wife of James Rennie, founder of the firm of " Rennie, Lettie Cv: Co.," Brad- 
ford, England, and left a daughter m. to John Wilkinson of Eeeds, who 
left issue, James Rennie Wilkinson, Justice of the Peace of Thropstons, 
Northampton. 

3. Robert Milligan- ( 1), eldest son of John' (l) and Elizabeth Charteris. 
was b. on the farm of Dunnance, parish of Balmaghie, Callowayshire, Scot- 
land, Oct. 10, 1786, and d. July i, 1862, aged 76 years. His parents were 
farmers of that honest and sturdy Scotch peasantry, long the pride and de- 
fense of Caledonia. He crossed the Border, probably on foot, in 1802, and 
for a time lived at Cross Hills, being a traveling Scotchman with a pack. 
He settled at Bradford in 1810, where he and his brother John were pion- 
eers in the stuff trade. He established a retail and wholesale department. 
Robert Milligan tinally took in Mr. Forbes as partner, and, at that time, 
built one of the most handsome stuff warehouses in town, with a mile of 
mahogany counters. This warehouse, or store, is still standing. I" Mr.

Milligan's time the house attained one of the highest commercial positions 
in the town. The elegant warehouse also commanded considerable interest 
as it showed a business which would scarcely pale in importance before any 
of the merchant princes of Manchester. 

Robert Milligan was eminently considerate in an instance where a shop- 
keeper had failed. Milligan & Forbes being the principal creditors, did 
not appear at the meeting of the creditors, and finally loaned the debtor 
;^2,5oo. He subsequently paid the debt and Robert Milligan had the sat- 
isfaction of knowing he had saved one man from financial ruin. 

He was, politically, a staunch Liberal, and took a deep interest in the 
emancipation of the West Indian slaves and in Parliamentary and municipal 
reforms. He was a member of the Anti Corn Law League ; was elected to 
the civic chair of Bradford as soon as the borough w^as incorporated in 1847, 
and also member of three successive parliaments. 

For some time he resided in a large house on the site of the present 
Bradford Infirmary, but an alteration worth recording took place. When 
Robert Milligan, in the early part of his career, was toiling faint and weary 
from Apperley to Eccleshill, he paused to rest his burden on a stile, and 
looking back, saw " Acacia Cot " peeping from the midst of embowering 
foliage ; and he thought if he ever became rich that was the place he would 
like to own. He was now a successful merchant and one of the founders of 
the Bradford Banking company. It happened that the Acacia estate was 
placed as security and thrown on his hands. The directors waited on Mr. 
Milligan and wanted him to buy it. "I cannot afford it," said he. "On 
the contrary," said they, "you are the very man who can afford it." He 
bought the estate and made that his residence the remainder of his life. 

Robert Milligan m. Phoebe Briggs of Rawdon, in Leeds, but did not 
have issue. He adopted Susan, the daughter of his eldest brother, who 
was m. to Henry William Ripiey.

ROBERT MILLIGAN, ESQ. 

BORN OCTOBER I O, 1786; DIED JULY I, 1862. 



How rare to see so much of honour won 

In health and strength, amidst a world of strife! 
A rich example of a well-spent life, 

With heaped-up honour when the race is won. 

This good man dies, ripe with benevolence, 

And leaves a name unstained by worldly cares, 
A goodly heritage to all his heirs, 

And still his passport on his journey hence. 

Now that his labours here have reached their end, 
How sadly vacant seems the place to be 
He filled amongst us, while in him we see 

The upright citizen, the people's friend. 

Throughout the record of his life, which teems 
With patriotic and with Christian deeds, 
A lesson's vouchsafed, which sublimely pleads 

To those whose virtues fade away in dreams.

Not for his wealth, which grew i)y prudent care, 

And ])atient toil, and honest-hearted thrift, 

Kut for his j^en'rous nature, eiowninj^ gift. 
The grief for such a loss so many share. 

This is our boast ; the worlil is hlest with those 

Whose selfishness is buried in the shade 

Of noble actions ; one such now is laid, 
Alas, where friendship's term on earth must close. 

Peace to his ashes! may we iiumbly treatl 
The path he trod of rectitude and peace, 
So that our names, when our life-task shall cease, 

Shall rank among those of the honoured dead.

CHILDREN OF JOHN AND CHRISTIANA HARTLEY. 

1. Mary Hartley Milligan-' (2), eldest daughter of John- (2), b. Dec. 30, iSio; 
was m. about 1830 to George Parkinson, and d. Sept. 8, 1865. She was 
the mother of seven children, five of whom are living, viz : /<;////, Gc-o>xc, 
77iot)ias, Klloi, and Ann. 

2. John Milligan' (3), eldest son of John- (2), b. Jan. iS, 1812; m. Mari- 
anne Greenwood of Haworth, at Bingley parish church, about 1836. He 
d. at Whinburn, Keigley, Yorkshire, March 6, 1876, aged 64. His wife d. 
Dec. 17, 1878. After leaving home this John Milligan was apprenticed to 
a surgeon in Bradford, but in a short time his character manifested it.self in 
an incident which brought this connection to a close. He was required to 
keep books on the Sabbath ; this he refu.sed to do, and leaving, he was 
bound apprentice to Dr. Mitchell of Keighley. He at once joined in the 
movement for the establishment of the Mechanics Institute. After his aj)- 
prenticeship he studied in London University College and commenced 



7()2 MILLIGANS OF DUNNANCE, SCOTLAND. 

practice at Bingley ; but after a year he retvirned to Keighley, where he 
spent his life. 

In 1847 he called the public attention to the sanitary condition of the 
town in a lecture entitled " Poverty as a source of disease and factory 
labor and wool-combing in relation to health and mortality." This was 
published. 

In 1848 he became competitor for the Fothersgilliam gold medal with 
his essay, " On the influence of civilization upon health and disease ;" and 
was successful. This gold medal was presented to Dr. Milligan at a public 
banquet of the Medical society of London of which he was an honourary 
corresponding fellow. To use his own words : " It was a position to him 
no less novel than difficult." Living in the obscurity of a distant provin- 
cial town, he said : " I had scarcely dared to hope that success would crown 
my literary attempt. In fact when I thought on the matter, rather than 
being the subject of exhilarating prospects, I felt abashed at my own temer- 
ity and would willingly have sacrificed something if my paper could have 
been withdrawn from the impending contest." 

He wrote another essay on '- Drunkeness," the prize being ;^ioo, but 
did not have the good fortune to receive the money he had earned. He 
also defended a charge of poisoning so ably that at the assizes the case col- 
lapsed and the judge complimented him on his evidence. 

Dr. Milligan continued to take an active part in all local matters, being 
incapable of passive conduct. He was a decided and consistant Liberal in 
politics. For thirty years a regular attendant at the Wesleyan chapel. 
During his life he performed many difficult surgical operations with remark- 
able success without chloroform, which was then unknown. 

In 1857 he read a paper before the British Association at Dublin, on a 
new mode of preserving vaccine lymph in glycerine, and on an instrument, 
a simple contrivance, to prevent irritation to the skin. 

In 1859 before the same association, at Leeds, he read another paper on 
" The Pressure of the Atmosphere and its power to modify and determine 
Hemorrhagic Diseases." He also contributed several important articles to 
the " Lancet " and other periodicals ; and many letters on public questions 
both to the London and provincial press. He also wrote a volume of poems, 
some of which bear marks of genius. For many years he held the position 
of medical officer to the local board, and his reports were highly valued by 
the local government board. 

Added to his love of the medical profession, and his zeal in prosecuting 
it, he was warmly attached to the study of literature and antiquities, and 
on these subjects his mind was almost encyclopaediac. He almost lived in 
the hearts and habits of the common people, and the collection of folk-lore 
was his second nature. Even in the last week of his life, he had rescued 
from oblivion the old market cross of Keighley, and erected it in his own 
grounds at Whinburn. He amassed a varied library of over 4,000 volumes, 
many of the books of great value, and the most of these now form a library 
in the Technical Institute in Keighley, called the " Milligan Collection." 
He also collected a valuable assortment of fossils, and since his death these 
were presented to the town museum, with some quaint oil paintings. 

In personal appearance Dr Milligan was of tall, slim, handsome figure, 
about 6 feet in height. He was a great pedestrian and knew every lane in

As ( uiulifi laiiil ami WCsimott'Iaiul lountic.^ om r loiim-il a p.ut ol the 
Kingdom of Scotland, thcMillicans in those shires evidently came from 
the same source as those in Scotland and Ireland. 'I'he union of the crowns 
of England and Scotland and the ("oventer's wars and the Cromwellian 
soldiers may have introduced some of the Millicans into ( 'uml»crland and 
Northumberland. The early records of Newcastle disclose the fact that the 
earlier generations of the Millicans were of the lowest rank, which seems to 
indicate that the better class had not even come to C"und)erland at that 
period. At any rate they were intermarried with the gentle families as the 
following pedigree will show, by the end of the iSth century. The sur- 
name in England is pronounced as if spelled J//7//X'';/, and there remains no 
doubt of the common origin of the many brain hes who u.se dilTerenl forms 
of orthography. 

The Millicans in the North of England, back to the time of John Mil- 
lican, at least, were in the service of the London Lead company's mines in 
Weardale, (Stanhope >S: Ronaldkirk) in Dufton, and in Alston Moor, cen- 
tering at Nenthead, and in three generations the members were always 
promoted to the highest rank as superintendent. The Millicans seem to have 
sprung, latterly, from Garrigill, where they still hold land — Gate Head Earm. 

Mr. John Millican Senior, and after him his son Tinniswood, held West 
Nenthead House and land, as also Bailes estate and other lands about 
Alston. Mrs. Dalton, 7iee Millican, now holds West Nenthead. liailes has 
been sold by the executors of John Joseph Millican. 

John William Junior held lands at the town head of Alston and else- 
where, and upon his decease some of these passed to his daughters, his son 
being dead. The other branch of Millicans,-of Alston, -now represented 
by John Holmes Millican, still hold land ; but these are chieHy engaged 
in business, one being a successful Newcastle merchant. 

NoiK. — Many families of Millicans from the North of I'.ngland came early to North 
America, and their descendents are now very numerous in the llritish Provinces and 
Southern United States. 

The following pedigree, nicely tabulated, was compiled by the Rev. 
William Dalton, whose mother was Sarah, daughter of 'I'inniswood Millican, 
and is the fruit of careful and painstaking research carried forward e.xpressiy 
for this book. He made full extracts from the Herald visitations in the 
British museum.

The Millikens of Isle Mai^uc, ( Duiily ol Anlriin, Irclaiul, i .ma- iioui 
Scotland during the Ulster plantation, about 1615, and families of tiiis luune 
have domiciled there ever since. Isle Magee, not distant from Ikdfast, 
contains 7043 acres and the present population is 3100. There are no 
parish records of an early ilate known to exist, and ancestral names and 
connections cannot be found. It may be assumed with plausibility that 
other Milliken families in Aiiltini, of whom there were many, are closely 
related to this stock.

Two of three brothers went from the Lowlands of Scotland into Ulster, 
Ireland, during religious persecution, settled there and raised families. They 
were Presbyterians of genuine Covenanting stock. Mr. Matthew H. Mil- 
liken writes that he believes the two brothers of this family who came from 
Scotland to Ulster were named Robert ?ind /avies. They were refugees and 
no recorded trace of them is known to exist. One James Milliken of Bally- 
ceagh, once visited James of Ravarra, and by " comparing notes" they de- 
cided that they represented, as descendents, the two brothers. 

James Milliken, date of birth and death not known, came from Moira or 
Bainbridge, Co. Down, Ireland, to Ravarra, Co, Down, to reside, early in 
the 17th century. He had three sons, Williani, Robert and /a??ies.

student. Some of his Greek and Latin books are preserved in the family.

patam under General Goff, and d. at Port St. George, Madras, and was 
buried there.

The Sydney Bulletin, probably the cleverest literary pa|)er in .\ustralia, 
copied "Empty Bottles" from the iVorf/nrn 'J'erri/ory 'J'iines, with this com- 
ment: "Whoever Millikan is, he has a line eye for a point and a moral, 
and the Bulletin wants to hear from him again." 

(L-mptn ^lottlcs. 

1!V RKV. W. a. millikan. 

Bottles everywhere, just teeming, lying all about, and seeming 
To be ever, ever dreaming of the days that are no more! 
And I camped each night, a rover, as I trod the country over, 
Hardly rinding room to lay me for them, as I sought tlie shore, 
Each day rinding, as I sought Australia's farthest northern shore. 

Empty bottles on before. 

On the burning plains they're scattered, and where miners rocks have shattered ; 
On stations, and away inland, beside the deej) artesian bore; 
From whence we too often l^orrow ghastly tales of trials and sorrow. 
Trials of those who know no morrow, who ended life in blood and gore, 
l!ut how came their life, so precious, to shudder out in blood and gore .■* 

Contents of bottle — nothing more. 

'Neath the darksome jungle's shutter, where the wood-doves flirt and flutter. 
Where Dame Nature pours profusion of bounties from her goodly store — 
There I saw them, vigils kee])ing, shining backs forever peeping 
From the grass where I beheld tiiem, veritable ghosts of yore ; 
And a voice behind me whispered: " From the festive days of yore 

Empty bottles — nothing more." 

Again upon my journey starting, with the feeling on me darting, 
On my heart already smarting, smarting to its inmost core- 
That N.T., so vainly vaunted, had its gruesome tales of haunted, 
Of haunted spots, reminders of the dead and old forgotten lore ; 
And what could solve the mystery of these spots, this oltl forgotten lore .> 

Empty bottles — nothing more. 

So the cue thus found I followed, as I trod o'er ground all hallowed 
To enrich Chinese who wallowed where white men had heretofore 
Worked the mines with pro|)er methods, but had sunk before the slipshods. 
" What could be the cause?" I shouted, "Tell me, tell me. I implore.'— 
And the voice l)eside me echoed: "Tell me, tell me, I implore.^— 

Bottles, bottles! — nothing more." 

Days had come in olden Southport, when the bottles gave great mouth spurt; 
And their drinkers daily stretched out, stretched them out upon the door. 
Those were days of constant chances — which now come like lireHy glances. 



782 MILLIKANS OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 

At what work then did they labor, daily labor by the score, 
Those fine miners, at what labor did they labor by the score ; 

Emptying bottles — nothing more. 

Then those scenes of sad disaster followed ever, faster, faster — 
Idle men, dishonest master, neglected mines of priceless store — 
Blots these on our history's pages, which will shock the modern sages, 
And the men in coming ages who may read our records o'er— 
When they find just what has happened as they read our records o'er — 

Through the bottles — nothing more. 

So N.T. began to languish. Then there came that flood of anguish — ■ 
Chinese from the ports of China surging up upon the shore; 
And with methods old and tardy, they — the steady, sober, hardy — 
Won the white man's gold and country, ever, ever, more and more ; 
And our thanks for this is owing, for this ever more and more — 

To the bottles — nothing more. 

Should it ever be so fated that white men, by " John " disrated, 
Should become all isolated from N.T.'s extensive shore. 
And to wipe us from existence " John " maintained with great persistence, 
This has always been a China — he read it in his books of yore — 
What will show we had a being, and disprove those lying books of yore? 

Empty bottles ! Nothing more. 

Since the above was written a shipload of these " Empty Bottles " have 
been brought away from the Northern Territory, viz., 72,000 dozen. 

BY REV. W. A. MILLIKAN j 

In dark temptations hour, 

When trials come nigh. 
And by their subtle power 

Our Souls defy. 
Yield not to them in grief. 

Nor yet despair. 
For there is sweet relief 

In earnest prayer. 

No foes can this withstand 

But fly they must, 
If in God's saving hand 

Our all we trust ; 
He knowing what is best 

For you and me. 
Will give our spirits rest 

And set them free. 

From vainly anxious care 

Such as deceive, 
All foolish ones who dare

before coming to Cork, where he joined the established church, had been a 
Quaker. The subject of this notice, Richard, was an attorney and engaged 
in the practice of his profession in Cork, but the most of his time was de- 
voted to painting, music, and poetry. He was a contributor to the Cor/c 
Monthly Miscellany, in which his poetry was published in 1795. In 1797, 
he wrote, jointly with his sister, some historical novels for the Casket. He 
was known and remembered chiefly as the author of the song, " The Groves 
of Blarney they look so charming," a burlesque of a doggeral ballard, " Castle 
Hyde," written by an itinerant poet named Barrett, about 1790. Mr. Milli-

been celebrating with a fife and drum band as was then the custom, and 
were returning home to Stewartstown. Party animosity was verv strong, 
and when passing (ileno chapel, near the shore of Loch Neagh, they were 
attacked by some two thousand of Papists or " Ribbon men." .\mong the 
Orangemen were two old Waterloo pensioners who assumed command and 
spread the company out with considerable space between them, each taking 
such cover as he could t'lnd. Both parties were armed with old flint-locks, 
and the firing was continued for two hours, and several of the Roman 
Catholics were shot. The ammunition of the Orangemen was running low, 
or was almost gone, when the other party, having got enf)Ugh of it, with- 
drew and permitted those they had attacked to go home. James Milligan 
participated in this battle called "The C.leno Tight." 'The names of the 
two old veterans who led the Orangemen, since recorded in .song, were 
Williamson and T»arclay. 

Edward Milligan, son of James, emigrated to America and lived in Phila- 
delphia where he is said to have "lived free from guile." He was b. about 
ninety years ago, (1902) and left Ireland at the age of forty. He had not 
less than two sons and one daughter who are now living in Philadelj-thia. 
one being a member of the Select Council at the present time. This W. J. 
Milligan is m. but has no issue. He says, " I have sustained the name un- 
sullied, and added some lustre to it." Mary Millican, a sister of Kdward, 
beforementioned, also came to Philadelphia about the same time and is 
supposed to have d. there, unm. James Millican, a half-brother of Kdwanl,

where the family remained a short time ; then to Louisville, Ky., for a 
short time, and thence to New Orleans where they all lived and died. One 
son, Richard Milliken, lived in New Orleans from his 17th year until 
his death in his 79th year. He acquired great wealth and gave much to 
charity, having built the Milliken Memorial Hospital at a cost of $500,000. 
His father having died when he was a child, and leaving his early home so 
young, he never knew much about his ancestors. His widow resides at

The story of Mrs. John Mulliken's peanut achievement has not yet been 
fully told. Besides the money received from her sales, Mrs. MuUiken made 
$900 more, having won that amount from three gentleman, each of whom bet 
$300 that she would not sell $50 worth of peanuts without eating, drinking 
or sitting during the time of selling. Mrs. Mulliken fulfilled these condi- 
tions, and more, selling 471^ bushels of nuts and not sitting, eating or 
drinking for twelve hours. She has since received many congratulations, 
together with orders for peanuts, from different parts of the United States.

Author's {lotcs. 

Mii.LiKAN Slavkmolokrs. Hoii. Joseph .\dison Plair of .Vshboru, N. < ., a 
man well up in the history of the old families in Ramlolph county, a.-isurcs 
the compiler of this volume that some of the Millikans were slavehoIder.s ; 
but some of the best informed in the family deny this. We must refer all 
who are interested to the record of Samuel Millikan's will in the county 
records, in which he makes provision for the freedom of his negroes. Rev. 
Elihu Millikan of this family, who lived in Jefferson Co., Tenn., certainly 
held slaves; but he was a Baptist. One <;f his negroes who survived his 
master gave testimony to his kindness. 

The author has been informed by Mrs. Ezekiel Cast, iift Millikan, of 
Clarksville, O., that two Millikan sisters came from some southern state 
during the Civil war — she believes from Tennessee or Mississippi -to Wil- 
mington, ()., where they remained until hostilities hatl ceased. The one 
who was married gave her name as Julia Bishop, and her sister was Clara 
Millikan. When John Millikan was returning from a visit to Wilmington, 
O., where he had been "to mill," one of the women came to her door and ac- 
costed him, asking his name. They thought he was their kinsman from his 
resemblance of their father. They had but recently arrived, were quite desti- 
tute of provisions, and John Millikan gave them a sack of flour. 'They 
afterwards visited him at his home. When the war was over the two sis- 
ters went back to their southern homes and were not afterwards heard Irom. 
They were not found during the author's extensive researches, and their 
connection with the families from Randolph Co., N, C, is not known. 

Mrs. Cast is very positive that there was an .Me.xander Millikan of this 
family, something of a nomadic character, and unmarried, who once lived 
with John Millikan, her father, in Ohio, and her belief is that he returned 
to the South, joined the Confederate army and was killed.

"Andy" t

Note — It is to be regretted that the record of births, marriages and deaths of the thirteen 
children of Robert Milliken and Jane Hopkins was accidently destroyed by fire after be- 
ing prepared for the press. Mrs. Mary Pickering, a descendent who was well informed 
in the history of this family had the names and statistics and through the kind assistance 
of Mrs. J. F. Stevens of Wollaston, Mass., a full copy was produced. When the author 
made inquiries for the purpose of procuring a duplicate record it was learned that Mrs. 
Pickering had passed away. Mrs. Sylvia Verrill, now living in Auburn, Me., and Mrs. 
Phebe Craney of Aurora, Me., also furnished records of some descendents. A part have 
been restored. Mrs. Pickering of Randolph, Mass., had the family record of Robert Milli- 
ken and it may still be preserved among her heirs. See pages i6i and 162.

Since the genealogy of the Mullikins of Bradford, Mass., and several allied 
families, was in print, considerable pains has been taken in an attempt to 
find the ancestry of that John Mulliken who was a resident of Methuen, 
Mass., but the search has disclosed but little that sheds additional light up- 
on the history of this man or his family connections. As previously stated, 
the compiler finds no reason fpr doubting that this John Mulliken was a 
descendent of the Scottish families so early settled in Boston, but the con- 
necting link has not been found. Tradition and speculation do not appeal 
with much force to the experienced genealogist — to the candid searcher 
who has learned to look for documentary evidence upon which to base his 
statements ; and by reason of the absence of such data much must be left 
in comparative obscurity that would, if revealed, gratify our curiosity and 
constitute interesting family history. 

James Long and his wife Jane Milliken removed to Salem, N.Y. and were 
among the early settlers there. He made a will Feb. 26, 1789; this was

A Milligan whose wife was Sarah MgFarren, came from Armagh city 
and county in the Province of Ulster, Ireland, early in the i8th century, 
and settled in Jamaica, N. Y. The father, whose name is unknown, soon 
died, leaving a widow and six children, viz : IVilliam, Gilbert, Samuel, Jane, 
Sarah, and Nancy. 

Jamaica, the place where the Milligans first sat down is now Williams- 
burg, Green Co., N. Y. The farm, through the treachery of Aaron Burr, 
went into the hands of a man named Mills, who sold milk in N. Y. city. By 
the conditions of James McFarren's will, the estate could not be sold until 
Nancy Milligan was of age.

(^Biddeford Journal, Jan. 24, i8g6.) 

Squire Edward Milliken, of Scarborough, was known as Justice Milliken 
and was a man of substance and social standing. Amongst his full quiver 
of children was a daughter Rebecca, for whom he had selected a compan- 
ion descended from another of the well-to-do families ; but she was other- 
wise minded and fell in love with her father's hired man, George Coolbroth 
by name. Squire Milliken was a man of obdurate will and acted with dis- 
patch ; he discharged the friend of Rebecca and bade her to have no more 
to do with him. But Rebecca was a slip from the parentstock and refused 
to relinquish her affections ; she made a confidant of her mother who appre- 
ciated the situation and treated her with gentleness and compassion. Be- 
ing separated, the lovers' ingenuity was exercised to devise means of inter- 
course. Indeed, they were both decidedly lonely, bewailed the sad course 
of events by which they had been consigned to such a fate and soon out- 
generalled the old vSquire by meeting clandestinely in Rebecca's private 
room when they were assured that the old folks had retired and were far

from the shore on the cahii sea of slumber. Iku it happened on one occasion 
that the Squire was disturbed in the nij^ht-hours by sounds in his daughter's 
room. In his impetuosity he bounded upon the Hoor, partly dressed, seized 
an old sword and stood at the door of Rebecca's apartment. 1 1 in move- 
ment had been heard by the (piick ear of the wary maiden, and she pushed 
George Coolbroth behind the curtains of the old-fashioned bedstead, where 
he stood erect against the wall, completely hid from view. When the stern 
old squire entered with uplifted sword, he demanded of Relu-ir;i ;i rtMson 
for her being up at so late an hour, and for the noises he had heard. .She 
was found sitting calmly by her stand reading by the dim light of her tallow 
candle. Her father looked about the room, peered under the bed, admonished 
Rebecca to retire, and returned to his own room. .\s still as a listening 
mouse, George Coolbroth held his position behind the bed-curtains, scarcely 
daring to draw a normal breath or suffer his heart to beat without a bridle. 
Rebecca bent her sensitive ear to listen. Had her father become satisfied 
that she was alone in the room ; had he retired to his own bed for repose, 
or was he acting the detective somewhere below the stairs .' Awaiting develop- 
ments, they were reassured by a sound in the parental bedroom resembling 
the tearing of strong cloth ; it was the unconscious oration of a heavy 
sleeper. At this juncture George emerged from this undignified position. 
They cemented the bonds of affection with a freshly moistened wafer, 
whispered good night, and he was soon making tracks across the fields 
toward the Coolbroth homestead. Thus matters went on, love finding a way 
for mutual communion and close fellowship until the time for the wedding 
had been tixed and all preliminary arrangements were secretly made. Ben- 
jamin Milliken, a brother of Rebecca — afterwards known as the "Royalist — " 
was taken into the confidence of the contracting persons and proved an ex- 
cellent and discreet assistant. It was midwinter. The snow lay deep upon 
the fields. All was quiet about Squire Milliken's mansion at Dunstan. The 
great tire roared up the chimney and the flames danced about the enormous 
backlog. The Squire at his corner of the hearthstone gazed upon the glow- 
ing embers and drifted mentally away in semi-dreams about his real estate 
transactions. Abigail Norman, his good dame, lengthened the leg of the 
stocking with her knitting needles at the opposite side of the tire-place. 
The children were disposed between their parents, amongst them Rebecca, 
apparently serene and silent, but filled with anticipations, hopes and fears. 
The son Benjamin had been visiting at a neighbor's and came home late. 
The brands burned off in the middle and fell over the andirons ; the shovel 
and tongs did service in burying the embers ; the high-backed chairs were 
set against the wall ; the tall clock was wound up. and the members of the 
Milliken family went each to their places of rest. Rebecca had not long 
to wait in her cold room before the heavy breathing of her father assured 
her that the opportune moment had come. Her bundle was already made 
up and the window was open. Her brother Benjamin had procured two 
pairs of snow-shoes and George Coolbroth was waiting with them outside : 
he assisted Rebecca to climb down from the window-sill; they ■ "y 

tied on their snow-shoes, the heels forward, and turned their decepi..- .. ps 
toward the Portland road. At the early dawn the mail stage came along 
and the young couple took seats for Portsmouth, where George Coolbrooth 



820 GENERAL SUPPLEMENT. 

had relatives. They were united in wedlock that evening. When the Mil- 
liken family of Dunstan had risen and preparations for breakfast were nearly 
completed, the squire came in from the barn and asked for Rebecca. The 
shrewd mother said she had not been called and could be allowed to sleep 
awhile. Hastening to his wood lot, Squire Milliken did not know of his 
daughter's departure until he came home at noon. Rebecca was not there 
and the mother with great demonstrations of distress informed him that she 
could not be found. Going to her room he looked from the window and 
discovered the snowshoe tracks, where, evidently, some one had approached 
the house. He instantly came to the conclusion that Rebecca had been 
carried away, and made haste to examine the impression made by the snow- 
shoes. He saw that two persons with snowshoes had approached — evi- 
dently. Whence came they ? whither go ? No trace of them could be found 
beyond the snowbank under Rebecca's window. All was mystery, bewilder- 
ment. Were the persons coming on the snowshoes secreted somewhere 
about the buildings ; were they not in the house ? Up stairs, down stairs 
and "in the lady's chamber," the squire turned his steps; everywhere he' 
searched, but no trace of the missing, the lost Rebecca could be found. 
Putting on his own snowshoes the squire determined to find where the two 
who had approached his house at night came from. Tracing the tracks back- 
ward, as he supposed, he was led to the Portland and Portsmouth road ; 
here all ended in mystery. He reasoned that Rebecca had not eloped with 
Coolbroth, for the tracks led away from the homestead of that family. 

The few neighbors were raised and joined in the search. Various theories 
were expressed and as George Coolbroth could not be found the majority 
assumed that he had gone away with Rebecca Milliken. When the search- 
ing party were about the Milliken mansion, the mother of Rebecca, and Ben- 
jamin made despairing demonstrations of grief ; when the neighbors had 
departed, the brother and mother held secret council to devise means to 
allay the passion of the squire. 

There was no telegraph then you know, and Squire Milliken hitched up 
his tall yellow mare, whose force on the road was allied to a small hurri- 
cane, and away he went toward Portland. Inquiry was everywhere made 
for the lost Rebecca, but no one had seen her. She was advertised and a 
generous reward offered for her discovery ; but on the return of the mail 
stage she and her husband came back to Dunstan, and took up their abode 
at the Coolbroth farmhouse. The old squire did rave and tear ; he was 
angry to his marrow bones and stormed in wild fury ; he disowned Rebecca 
and cut her off from his estate. She survived, however, until almost one 
hundred years of age and became the mother of twelve or fourteen children ; 
she lived to see a child of the fifth generation of her descendants, and that 
child, now a beautiful Christian lady, whose pleasant face is enframed by 
waving, snowy locks, gave the writer the facts recorded in this sketch. 

Rebecca Milliken Coolbroth saw many hard experiences of want with 
her large family, being deprived of all material assistance from her obdurate 
father ; and in old age frequently said she would not advise any other young 
woman to do as she did, when against her father's will, she went away to 
marry the companion she loved. q nn j^iHion Sr
